What is the crowd's opinion of Quantum Computing Since Democritus?

>Why are you using D-Wave as an adverb? It is a company name. English is my second language but I think it is more correct to say D-Wave's computers.

I was saying D-wave computer like I would say an Apple computer but I might be wrong I am not a massive speaker too.

>If you have the cojones to grapple with set theory foundations, this is the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quantum-Computing-since-Democritus-Aaronson/dp/0521199565/

I will have a look.

I was more interested to understand why D-wave computer are not a threat to cryptocurrency.

I will send you a link if I find it.

Why are you using D-Wave as an adverb? It is a company name. English is my second language but I think it is more correct to say D-Wave's computers.

Ask for the name of the course textbook. Then just skim the table of contents, the first paragraph or so of the chapters (tip: the last chapter almost always has the cool, interesting stuff), and get the "big picture" of the course. Worry about the details when it comes time to take the class. Then enjoy your summer days off and don't forget to get a good tan.

Or you could read biographies of famous computer scientists/mathematicians (or those closely related): Alan Turing, Claude Shannon, John von Neumann, Richard Feynman (he's really a physicist, but wrote a famous 1982 paper on quantum computing). I'd also recommend Quantum Computing Since Democritus: https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Computing-since-Democritus-Aaronson/dp/0521199565

Quantum Computing Since Democritus is good.

As mentioned I would definitely start with classical computing though. There are loads of courses online for algorithms and data structures so suggest it’s better for you to Google search and try out a few courses. Here’s a book though that might help: Once Upon an Algorithm

A book

It's in a weird place between having-FTL and not-having-FTL and no one agrees on how to interpret it.

There are interpretations of quantum mechanics that have no FTL effects, even hidden behind the scenes, but they replace those effects with other weird things (such as many worlds).

If you want to slowly clue in on quantum things, I recommend reading Scott Aaronson's blog (or book):

> quantum mechanics exhibits what one might not have realized beforehand was even a logical possibility: it doesn’t allow communication faster than light, but simulating the predictions of quantum mechanics in a classical universe would require faster-than-light communication
