Building Intuition for Quantum Computing

dncolomer — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 04:38:43 +0000

I am sort of realizing that in order to build solid intuition for Quantum Computing I really must dig deep into examples & existing algorithms in order to find the nuances that make things work and click together.

Some examples here I my recent attempts to revisit Grover and the QFT/invQFT algorithms:

Here is an example of something which I find really unintuitive about quantum computing: You are playing with waves & these waves do wave-things like creative & destructive interference. When you are phasing some elements of a superposition you are using interference but you can still manipulate the original superposition! -> check out my confused aha! moment at minute 37 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sOdez49jT8&feature=youtu.be&t=2226

This is what nobody tells you about quantum measurements...

... of course it's written all over the place but it was just not obvious to me!

How did I get started with Quantum Computing

dncolomer — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 16:40:34 +0000

This is what's worked for me in order to get started with Quantum Computing from scratch:

1/ go through several intro tutorials like #ibmq #qsharp also playing HelloQuantum

2/ go through the textbook algorithms and try to break them down using #ibmq which is the best tool for beginners in my opinion

3/ read @OReillyMedia Programming Quantum Computere

4/ Read and reproduce some research papers and projects. After a while I kind of realized Quirk from @CraigGidney was a great tooling upgrade that overcomes the simplicity of #ibmq and has some cool power features for circuit design and debugging

5/ During my learning journey I've also been exploring some other types of #quantumcomputing like Cvqc (@XanaduAI) and annealing (@dwavesys)

6/ I'm so far kind of unimpressed by all the quantum ML that I've been seeing

7/ somehow I also haven't felt the need yet to learn any quantum scripting or programming language like @qiskit, #qsharp or #cirq if you've programmed before you should be able to read through code but haven't felt the need to use them as so far

Quantum Fourier Transform without the maths :) Does this make sense at all?
