#2Interesting; it might be time for me to load up a quantum simulator and star learning how to program these things.
I've pushed that off for a long time since I wasn't completely convinced that quantum computers actually worked, but I think I was wrong.

#3So one of the interesting comparisons between Quantum computing vs classical in the video: 5 mins vs 10^25 years. So are there any tradeoffs or specific cases in which the use cases for Quantum computing works or is this generic for "all" computing use cases? if later then this will change everything and would change the world.

#4Every time this comes up people say they're not actually useful for ML. Is that true? And if not what would they be useful for

Nice. I like how HN now has AI summary bots.

Its for a very, very, very narrow set of algorithms AFAIUI.

#8> It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse
I see the evidence, and I see the conclusion, but there's a lot of ellipses between the evidence and the conclusion.
Do quantum computing folks really think that we are borrowing capacity from other universes for these calculations?
