in 2 parts
Part#2 gave me a Headache
Sometimes I wonder if humans are capable of writing software that could take advantage of quantum computing.
Seth Lloyd's "Programming the Universe" is a nice read.
QuoteProgramming the Universe: A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes On the Cosmos is a 2006 popular science book by Seth Lloyd, professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The book proposes that the universe is a quantum computer, and advances in the understanding of physics may come from viewing entropy as a phenomenon of information, rather than simply thermodynamics. Lloyd also postulates that the universe can be fully simulated using a quantum computer; however, in the absence of a theory of quantum gravity, such a simulation is not yet possible.

Also "Quantum Computing Since Democritus" by Scott Aaronson.
Neither are massively physics/maths heavy but provide a lot of insight. I like how some of these unsolved problems with maths/geometry/an accurate formulation of reality date all the way back to the Greeks.
do you have the link for part 2 please?
It's not part II, but this came up next

Thanks Ergophobe.
That was much more interesting. I kind of got it and was aware of most of the principles but then again I'm not so sure "I got it".
I guess my knowledge of QC is both ignorant and not at the same time!
