All things Quantum. Research and developments, quantum informatics and computing, news, discussions, and more.

Question to Claude3.5: "Please explain quantum physics in the style of Dr. Seuss in Fox in Socks."

Response down here.
Why do quantum computers make terrible stand-up comedians?
Because their timing is always uncertain, and they never know if they’ve killed or bombed until the audience reacts 😜
Living between timelines
Hello Quantum people, question here from a very non-quantum person.
Have heard around the place that quantum computing will be able to hack cryptography in the future. Is this an existential threat to Blockchain? If yes, why is no-one in the Blockchain world talking about it??
What is stopping us from launching quantum computers into deep space, where the operating temperature is already near 0 Kelvin? 🤔

TL;DR: it seems like temperature controlled QCs are colder than outter space. 😯

Long-anticipated experiments that use light to mimic gravity are revealing the distribution of energies, forces and pressures inside a subatomic particle for the first time.

“These are tilings that shouldn’t really exist,” said Nikolas Breuckmann, a physicist at the University of Bristol.

The current level of quantum computers has clear limitations such as high gate error rates and small number of physical qubits. For this reason, research on noisy-intermediate-scale quantum operation is being actively carried out. ⚛

If this was anywhere remotely close to true, these "Aliens" are most certainly our creators. In order to "harvest" a black hole in a practical way, eg as hardware, you have to be way beyond Quantum domains in terms of techstack.

To put it in perspective:

➕ Classical physics, maths, informatics =
telecommunication, fast travel, television, cloud computing, AI +

⚛️ Quantum physics, math, informatics =
teleportation, telepathy, telecondition, quantum computing, AGI +
If you're fascinated by Quantum domains, and wonder how the Quantum industry will look like, but feel unsure where to start, I highly reccomend this course from The Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). 🔖

IBM was always a computing leader, but SK, is the first country that takes Quantum Computing as seriously as China takes surveillance capitalism and remote influence. KAIST is by far the top uni to study Q info atm.
