Superposition – The Quantum Leap

What [Would/Should/Could] We Ask a Quantum Computer?

What do you think the new “killer app” will be on a Quantum Computer? What question would you like a QC to answer? I’d love to hear your ideas.

The Metaphysics of Quantum Computing

This latest post approaches Quantum Computing from a philosophical perspective. It’s an aspect of this field that originally gripped my attention and which underlies much of why quantum mechanics conjures such non-intuitive conclusions.

The Quantum Computing Elevator Pitch

Quantum Computers will transform the way we use computers by massively accelerating certain computations and, more importantly, by enabling a wholly new form of computing.

The Case for an Annual “Quantum Games” Competition

Given that some benchmarks favor optimization strategies, some favor simulation, some focus on contrived theoretical tasks and others try to reflect real-world applications, some are great at 2-qubit gates but not at larger entanglements, etc., it unfortunately does not look like a universally accepted standard is going to be agreed upon in the near-future. So instead, what if there were an annual contest like a global QC decathlon?

Ten Fundamental Facts About Quantum Computing

I’ve covered some key aspects of Quantum Computing in prior posts and thought it would be helpful to synthesize and consolidate some of the fundamental properties of Quantum Computing to provide a bigger picture of the promise and potential of the industry

Quantum Superposition and Entanglement

In prior posts I emphasized the excitement and potential of Quantum Computing, without any reference to the underlying quantum mechanics, but would like to introduce you to some unique quantum properties in this post. While understanding the nature of Quantum Computing is complex and contains many new concepts, a basic understanding of “Superposition” and “Entanglement”Continue reading “Quantum Superposition and Entanglement”
