computing

- not a physicist

- watched the "cosmos" videos when I was 8

- I like thinking about weird things

physics

light is a wave and a particle

where individual particles will land is somehow determined by nature

quantum mechanics describes processes and events

it does not describe the primal substrate

computing

classical computers are good at counting

quantum computers are good at searching

classical computers

- automating tasks

- storing data

quantum computers

- finding signal in the noise

- breaking cryptography

- analyzing dna

quantum computers

- exist!

on the cloud!
