  • Why Haven’t Quantum Computers Factored 21 Yet?

    Jump

  • QC has well-founded expected applications within chemistry, factorisation and optimization. Anything else is hyperbole at this point.

  • Have you ever loved somebody so much that you gave zero consideration to desiring anyone else, even in passing?

    Jump

  • No. But I know true love, so I'd say you're wrong.

    Jump

  • No serious quantum computer scientist or industry person would claim QC "solves everything". Who is "they"?

  • Or you could embrace the vision, play on Hardcore with no map marker or compass, accept that travelling through war-torn lands is dangerous, feel the rush of galloping through the woods knowing a Cuman ambush could set you back 30 minutes, accepting that quests can fail, accepting that people will react to you stinking like blood and horse.

  • Don't worry, linear algebra is also useful for other, less famous stuff.

  • Is that maybe the trans joke? As in cis and trans for chemicals? If they were reflected normally, it would be cis.

  • Det er uhyggeligt hvor hurtigt jeg ender med at drikke hver dag i en længere periode sådan helt ubevidst.

    Starter med en aften hvor man godt lige kunne trænge til en øl efter en hård dag, næste aften er man ude at spise og skal lige have et glas vin til maden, næste aften mødes man med drengene online til noget spil og en bajer, næste aften står den på fredagsbrætspil og øller, næste aften har man en aftale med en gammel ven på et værtshus...

    Det sniger sig godt nok ind på mig. Og jeg gider ikke være sådan en der drikker hver dag. Jeg kan heldigvis godt lade være når jeg så opdager at det er dét der foregår, men lidt skræmmende er det alligevel.

  • That's insane. Is eigths the minimal resolution, or can it do stuff like "15 and 76/89ths of a pound"?

  • Is the Leviathan waking a good thing or a bad thing? It's a biblical thing right? They seem to be critical of the secret world government's strategy to freeze it to death with an artificial snow storm.

  • I'm good, thanks

  • Interesting framing. But without measurements there isn't really a need for different interpretations, is there? If that's what you mean by "in the middle of an experiment".

    I will happily agree that before measurement, it's very useful to think of the system as existing in many states at the same time.

  • I'm good, thanks

    Jump

  • I don't know, Many Worlds always led to more confusion than Copenhagen for me. But I suppose that's a matter of taste since they're equivalent.

    As per the relationship between measurement and entanglement, from an empiricist viewpoint all quantum mechanical terms are related to measurement. If entanglement didn't affect the outcome of measurements, it wouldn't exist.

    Indeed, you can disentangle an entangled system, which of course will change the outcome of measurements - that's how you know it's been disentangled.

  • I'm good, thanks

    Jump

  • Copenhagen interpretation doesn't break down for quantum erasure. Upon measurement you collapse the total quantum state into a result where the two measurements are consistent, that's simply what entanglement means.

    The timing of experiments, and the choice of what to measure, are elements ultimately irrelevant to the above statement, as the quantum erasure experiment demonstrates.

  • I'm good, thanks

    Jump

  • Unlike the Copenhagen interpretation, it does not privilege measurement over other types of interactions between systems.

    Hmm, you could say it instead privileges the subjective experience over other types of interaction. There's no reason in principle why you couldn't experience every "world" at the same time, in the same way a measurement could in principle return all possible results at the same time.

    But you don't. Somehow your experience of reality is above unitary time evolution, even though "you" aren't.

  • Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations

    Jump

  • Well, there's grifters in both camps, but the quantum computing potential was scientifically proven with Shor's algorithm decades ago, while nobody knows if AI will go anywhere from here.

    So also fundamentally dissimilar.

  • They are not platformed in Denmark. I never heard about them until this business started. If another country wants to platform them, we can't really do anything about that.

    We can't censor or imprison people for doing bullshit science. All we can do is ignore them.

  • These particular Danes are nutbags, plucked for the purpose. Denmark as a nation and state are very pro evidence based medicine and vaccines, and very against abuse of Indigenous people.

    It wasn't always so, but it is so now, and has been at least half a century. Please don't lump us all in with the few crazy ones.
