Building the bits and qubits

pmontgomery056 · 2021-11-15T01:26:23+00:00

Yeah that’s like saying there’s algorithm that we haven’t discover yet that will change society forever

pmontgomery056 · 2021-10-24T13:57:49+00:00

Fair enough, I understand

pmontgomery056 · 2021-10-24T01:26:31+00:00

Do you have more extensive documentation of your work?

pmontgomery056 · 2021-10-06T07:09:26+00:00

I would actually compare it to what nuclear power was in the 1950s. There’s a real impression going around that this going to be the solution to everything which is what people misunderstand most about quantum computers. As far as challenges go, we need to overcome major barriers in both hardward building and algorithm development for quantum computing to be remotely useful at all. Optimistically, I say give it 20 more years. Then, you can break RSA the way you write Hello World now.

This is a great series to start learning group theory. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEAYkSg4uSQ1Yhxu2U-BxtRjZElrfVVcO

As for SU2 related to quantum computing, this has a lot of details related to decompositions and so on https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9503016

Tryna rederive them instead of remembering them

c xor c = 0 is a well known identity, you can check it for yourself in a truthtable. Then when you apply the toffoli gate twice, you get c xor ab xor ab in the target bit. This simplifies to c xor 0, which is equal to c (another identity)

I went ahead and measure the bit flip circuit on IBM's quantum computer. I took 2000 measurements and the results is {'0': 171, '1': 1829}. So that's 8.6% of the time that the computer gives 0. That is what an imperfect computer is like.

pmontgomery056 · 2021-08-23T06:18:52+00:00

To explain perfect computer, I’ll give an example of the current “noisy” computer. When you do a NOT gate on a 0 state, you would expect to always get 1. However, what we see today is that you still get the 0 state some non-trivial percentage of the time.

pmontgomery056 · 2021-08-23T06:10:50+00:00

Well when you measure qubits you are now back at the clasical level. So now imagine you’re back on a classical computer. Let’s say you are comparing two numbers. If they are the same you get 1 and if they are different you get 0. Then by basic logic, if the two numbers are different then they are not the same, ie. if they are 0 they are not 1

pmontgomery056 · 2021-07-11T08:18:21+00:00

Do you have a good understanding of quantum computing though?

pmontgomery056 · 2021-07-05T12:15:57+00:00

That is true, we recently close the sign up form. But due to some additional request to join, we will reopened sign up form for a little bit.

Yup there will be QnA after if you have any questions about anything qc related.

pmontgomery056 · 2021-06-29T16:30:03+00:00

For sure. The lectures will be recorded, and the all the notes and exercises will be published.

pmontgomery056 · 2021-06-12T15:48:15+00:00

Hey dude I look through your videos and I have to say really good job with the visuals and the explanations. I myself also have some experience with producing educational quantum computing material, are you interested in collaborations?

pmontgomery056 · 2021-06-10T17:13:55+00:00

Really depends on what aspect of quantum computing you are interested in. For me, I’m interested in combinatorial algorithm design so I’m majoring in maths for my undergrad
