Quantum computing #

Some key ideas #

  • Qubits
  • bra-ket
  • linear algebra
  • Quantum circuits
  • NOT gate
  • CNOT
  • Hadamard
  • Scott Aaronson on quantum supremacy, which was apparently achieved by Google in 2019.
  • A great lecture by the same Scott Aaronson on the mathematical foundations of quantum theory from a different perspective to what I have usually seen.
  • This is just one lecture from a whole course by Aaronson on quantum stuff (a physics course: Quantum Computing since Democritus) which is freely available on his site.
  • Andy Matuschak’s interesting experimental spaced recognition course in quantum computing.
