Classically-Inspired Quantum Algorithms Considered Harmful and the Need for Quantum-Native Algorithms

We need more quantum-native algorithms — where the quantum algorithm designer starts fresh, with a clean slate, and with no classical baggage to mess up their thinking, fully exploiting the power of quantum computing, most notably, quantum parallelism to achieve an exponential speedup. The purpose of this short note is…

Enhancing DiVincenzo’s Criteria for Quantum Computing to Enable Post-NISQ Quantum Computing

DiVincenzo’s criteria for quantum computing were a decent contribution back in 2000, but are in need of an upgrade now that quantum computing has advanced far beyond where it was in 2000 and threatens to show signs of usefulness (although still much more in the way of promises than actuality.)…

Some Brief Notes on Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a very rich and complex field, but a very few brief notes can help to dramatically simplify navigation of the field. Or at least allow the reader to feel that they can navigate the field, or at least feel a lot less intimidated by the field. …

Nomenclature for Levels of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

People use the term AI or artificial intelligence in a lot of confusing ways so that we can never be sure what they are talking about. This informal paper (note) attempts to lay out a somewhat more comprehensible nomenclature for the term AI. I think of AI as a number…

Feynman’s Three Papers Related to Quantum Computing

Mention Feynman’s paper on quantum computing, and most people will immediately presume that you mean his 1982 paper on Simulating physics with computers, but he had two other foundational papers that at least loosely related to or associated with quantum computing. This short informal paper, a short note really, provides…

My Journey Into Quantum Computing Has Given Me a Newfound Appreciation for the Incredible Intellectual Power of Classical Computing

Quantum computers may have a dramatic performance advantage over classical computers, at least in theory, eventually, but classical computers still have a mind-boggling intellectual advantage over quantum computers. This informal paper will highlight the various aspects of classical computing which give it such an incredible intellectual advantage over quantum computing. …

Why I Continue to Lack Confidence That Quantum Computing Will Ever Be Able to Fulfill Most of the Grand Promises Made for It

There are still a number of aspects of quantum computing which seem unlikely to ever come to fruition. Many of the technical capabilities of the quantum computers themselves and the quantum algorithms and quantum applications will be technically difficult or take a very long time to successfully implement — but…

Why I Can’t Be a Physicist

Physics is a fascinating scientific field, but not something that I am personally able to master to the level of becoming an actual card-carrying professional physicist, complete with PhD. This informal paper explores the reasons why I won’t ever be prepared to be a physicist, even if it might help…
