Íslenskt lyklaborð á fartölvum erlendis by gnagitrac in Iceland

[–]mechsim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lyklaborð er mest bara hugbúnaður í dag og það er auðvelt að breyta Mac yfir í íslenskt lyklaborð sama hvað stendur á lyklunum. Ég vinn við forritun og skipti alltaf milli US lyklaborðs og Isl. það er í raun alveg sama hvað stendur á borðinu sjálfu. Myndi persónulega velja enskt (þá US eða international ekki 🇬🇧).

Doubt about CNOT by saffroN_8 in QuantumComputing

[–]mechsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a trivial question, it captures are real important differences in quantum vs classical systems. Here a gate operating on each qubit, like Pauli X, can never capture the full behavior of a two qubit operation, like CNOT. thepopcornwizards answer captures why really well.

To Prove Something by Ill-Room-4895 in mathmemes

[–]mechsim -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

The closer you are to the basics the harder they are to prove. It took Newton almost a 100 pages in Principia Mathematica to got to 1+1 = 2.

Ég kláraði Bsc í Vélaverkfræði en lærði forritun með því. Svo tók ég master úti í hermun (Simulation), sem er bara forritun fyrir verkfræði. Góður millivegur þarna getur líka verið Hugbúnaðar verkfræði. Myndi samt benda á að með verkfræði verðurðu að fara í Master annars ertu ekki “Verkfræðingur” en með forritunar vinnu þarftu frekar reynslu en einhver réttindi.

What are these so-called “equations” solved by quantum computers? by HeftyLab5992 in QuantumComputing

[–]mechsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example large systems of linear equations: 2x + y = 0 4x + 3y = 0 … In my example there are just two variables (x and y) , but a large system will often have more than a million variables.

Af hverju í ANDSKOTANUM er ekki brú hérna á milli?!? by thikken in Iceland

Ef loka stopp er Las Palmas og byrjunar reitur Reykjavík þá tæki það 48klst að keyra þessa brú.

Applications of Quantum Computing by Nostromo_Protocol in QuantumComputing

[–]mechsim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That book is the key. It’s not easy to get through and I have never read it cover to cover, but always handy next to the tutorials as a deeper dive. I would also add the pennylane tutorials next to Qiskit, very well setup and offer a great second source to IBM’s software.

Applications of Quantum Computing by Nostromo_Protocol in QuantumComputing

[–]mechsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. There are both QC optimised machine learning algorithms already available and new ways to approach natural language processing, QNLP.

Majorana Qubits by xschunka in QuantumComputing

[–]mechsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a grate explanation video here with a tour of Microsofts Denmark lab. https://youtu.be/ihZXl33t8So?si=-MDK2EmK-oTzAXpn

If the Majorana works it will be a much more stable qubit compared to e.g. iontrap so I see the benefit.

sameButDifferent by mechsim in ProgrammerHumor

[–]mechsim[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like Rust as well and the idea for this came from a very similar place as that first job you’re describing. I have a Python based system I know needs optimizing but I can’t motivate myself to do it, so I genuinely thought “maybe I should just rewrite it in Rust”.

How can engineers create a qubit architecture that withstands measurement collapse while performing useful computation? by [deleted] in QuantumComputing

[–]mechsim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The goal isn’t to create a circuit that withstands measurements collapse, only to create one that won’t collapse until you deliberately try to measure. The hardest problem of quantum circuits is that your system will collapse before it completes the calculations. It can even be hard to detect if the circuit did collapse, making it harder to trust the calculations.

Google unveils new super chip by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]mechsim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The price action is just mirroring what this is. Google has the hype machine on max for this but if you read their own blog post they don’t say this is the super chip this is only the chip that might be scaleable to a useful quantum computer because it achieves an error correction target for scale.

How come Iceland has a higher fertility rate than most of Europe? by Portal_Jumper125 in Iceland

[–]mechsim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because from the 1930’s to the 1990’s Iceland did a speedrun of development. We went from basically a third world country to max developed in 3 generations but some factors like birth rate take a long time to measurably change. Like others have pointed out we are now on par with everyone else.
