A Crash Course in Quantum Computing: Introduction

Andrew (he/him) on April 16, 2019

Quantum computing is, arguably, the biggest step in computing technology since the development of the microprocessor at the end of the 1960s. Once ...

Rock on!
Very much looking forward to it and thank you in advance for your efforts they are all greatly appreciated.

If you can construct it more the the engineer than the academic that would really take off for utility. I've taken 3 courses already (Future Learn, Udemy, and EdX (QML) and they were all geared toward academics. What we need in industry (I'm a Sr Dir of AI/ML) is that geared toward the engineering community - those who will use the tech to create industry solutions.

It's a tall ask - but it's a real under served constituency in the QC space right now.

There is still a large gap to fill. Supercomputers, and fpgas, using reversible single atom multidimensional processors, and multidimensional software, like the kind Ken Iverson developed, that generally leave von Neumann ideals, will give us an advantage toward lofty goals of consumer/public utility level quantum computation. Realistically we will probably end up just developing inverse mass quantum crystal transponders, that reconfigure themselves quadrillions of times a ns. How long this takes, and the peril we face in the process is another story for the end of war. reddit.com/r/warsend/comments/8u1x...
It is entirely possible that some caring old fool, that signed secrets to an nda started the ibm 5100 time Traveller rumor to make someone like me think of all of this, and how it could be accomplished in a short span. I believe it was probably a friend of Ken's and a patriot for good, apl is really something, and I really have to hand it to Lord Byron, and his progeny, and so many others.
Looking forward to collaborating with you all.

Very interesting and quite useful - is there a repository of the articles or is this the first of a series?
