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!
