Or you can go here neos-server.org/neos/solvers... and wait about 0.02 seconds for the problem to be solved exactly 😂

Imagine doing all this and then finding out on Wikipedia that the travelling salesman problem is NP-hard and thus nobody believes that it can actually be efficiently solved on a quantum computer.

Getting politely escorted away from the conference opening ceremony because you missed the dress-code memo.

I made a zine about quantum gates and distributed it at @unitary.foundation's unitaryCON this two weeks ago. check it out :) and lemme know what you think nates.place/static/ng01....

I recently made a video about 10 physics myths, and a lot of you asked that I do another one about quantum myths in particular. Let’s take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBKc...

"They could have put this caveat in the paper’s abstract. They could have put it in the introduction, or in the conclusion, or somewhere in the body. Maybe in a figure caption. Instead, they hid it away on page 14 of the supplementary materials."

Governments have been over-promised on near-term usefulness of quantum computing - they invest expecting economic growth. To get a grant, academics are forced to work with clueless industry partners on pretend applications instead of doing fundamental research that actually moves the field forward.

David Gross (at an excellent QuICS Seminar): “I don’t know if you’ve realized it, but there’s quite a lot of hype about quantum computation.”

It may sound cool, but can it factor 21?

Don't forget the "Quantum = Profit" interpretation of quantum mechanics which asserts that any product sells much better when you add "quantum" to its name. For empirical proof of this follow @quantuminthings.bsky.social.

perhaps making topological qubits when you know you don't have Majorana?

An intermediate challenge for quantum startups who want to solve climate change: can you first factor 21?

Let's not forget that the friends you make while working on quantum computing can have a greater impact on your life than all the computers in the world!

Too many people forget that the best current quantum computer is unable to factor numbers that my 7y/o son can (by virtue of having studied the time tables at school).

BREAKING: Travis Kelce has changed his mind after scientists estimate that the diamond of Taylor Swift's engagement ring could hold around 1000 nitrogen-vacancy center qubits with coherence time up to 10 ms in room temperature!

"We argue that accounts of intersubjectivity that preserve the possibility of privileged observation, vantage points for solipsistic super-observers, undermine the epistemic benefits we look for when we insist on intersubjectivity agreement as a criterion for objectivity." arxiv.org/abs/2508.16683

Dulwich Quantum is super excited to announce Milky Way 1 - our galaxy-sized quantum co-processor for OpenAI's Dyson sphere! We're ready to start manufacturing it once Sam Altman has "more concrete answers" for us beyond "but, like, we're stumbling through this".

BREAKING: T***p's profound remark unexpectedly resolves the measurement problem in quantum mechanics! "There's no outcome until there's an outcome!"

You often hear that quantum cryptography will make our computers and communications more secure. But you should never forget that the weakest link in computer security is always human stupidity. This talk illustrates it beautifully.

Blankets have never been so hot!

"My bold prediction? Scholar gets the axe within 5 years. Google will announce it with 12 months' notice, Bluesky will have a collective meltdown, universities will scramble for alternatives, and research workflows will be in chaos for years."

Let's not forget that Haim Israel, the managing director of research at Bank of America, has said that quantum computing could create “a revolution for humanity bigger than fire, bigger than the wheel.” investorplace.com/hypergrowthi...

"It seems to me that Microsoft is still well, well behind Google and IBM in terms of quantum computing. Though they're very competitive in terms of marketing."

BREAKING: After recording himself in his mom's basement for a month, a guy releases a video of him landing a coin on its edge on the first try!

"I may only be a humble theorist, but [...] after hundreds of millions of dollars, Microsoft and I have built the exact same number of topological qubits: zero."

Anyone heard of Rigetti's "84-qubit superconducting processors that can break RSA encryption in hours, not centuries"?

Skepticism of quantum computing has come up again recently, and I was reminded of this long blog posting I wrote nearly four years ago. rdvlivefromtokyo.blogspot.com/2021/10/quan...
