A brief history of Quantum computers 👇
1905: Albert Einstein explains the photoelectric effect and suggests that light consists of quantum particles or photons
1924: Max Born uses the term quantum mechanics for the first time
1925: Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan formulate matrix mechanics, the first formulation of quantum mechanics
1925-1927: Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg develop the Copenhagen interpretation, one of the earliest and most common interpretations of quantum mechanics
1930: Paul Dirac publishes The Principles of Quantum Mechanics, a standard textbook on quantum theory
1935: Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen publish a paper highlighting the counterintuitive nature of quantum superposition and arguing that quantum mechanics is incomplete

1944: John von Neumann publishes Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, a rigorous mathematical framework for quantum theory
1957: Hugh Everett proposes the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which suggests that every possible outcome of a quantum measurement actually occurs in a parallel universe
1961: Rolf Landauer shows that erasing a bit of information dissipates a minimum amount of energy, known as Landauer’s principle
1965: John Bell proves that quantum entanglement cannot be explained by any local hidden variable theory, known as Bell’s theorem
1973: Alexander Holevo proves that n qubits cannot carry more than n classical bits of information, known as Holevo’s theorem or Holevo’s bound
1980: Paul Benioff proposes a model of a quantum Turing machine, a theoretical device that can perform any computation using quantum mechanical principles
1981: Richard Feynman suggests that simulating quantum systems would require a new type of computer based on quantum mechanics
1982: David Deutsch generalizes Benioff’s model and proposes the concept of a universal quantum computer
1984: Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard develop a protocol for quantum key distribution, which allows two parties to securely exchange cryptographic keys using quantum states
1985: David Deutsch and Richard Jozsa devise an algorithm that can solve a specific problem faster than any classical algorithm, known as the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm
1991: Artur Ekert proposes another protocol for quantum key distribution based on quantum entanglement, known as the E91 protocol
1992: David Deutsch and Richard Jozsa extend their algorithm to handle multiple inputs, known as the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm
1994: Peter Shor discovers an algorithm that can factor large numbers in polynomial time using a quantum computer, known as Shor’s algorithm
1996: Lov Grover invents an algorithm that can search an unsorted database in square root time using a quantum computer, known as Grover’s algorithm
1997: Isaac Chuang, Neil Gershenfeld, and Mark Kubinec demonstrate the first implementation of Shor’s algorithm using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques
2000: David DiVincenzo proposes five criteria for building a practical quantum computer, known as the DiVincenzo criteria
2001: IBM researchers implement Grover’s algorithm using NMR techniques and achieve a modest speedup over classical algorithms
2007: D-Wave Systems claims to have built the first commercial quantum computer, but its validity is disputed by many experts
2019: Google announces that it has achieved quantum supremacy by performing a calculation on a 53-qubit quantum processor that would take a classical supercomputer thousands of years to complete
2020: IBM demonstrates that its 65-qubit quantum processor can perform calculations beyond the reach of any classical computer

No excuses. Just a clear look at what happened and what needs to change.
Damian Willemse breaks down what accountability looks like at the highest level on The @SmokelessWord.
It's a level of analytical rigour that turns setbacks into progress.
Watch now
The car aside, Humprehy’s Hill really is a proper staycation while you are in Kisii & the view of the sunset 🌅 from the top of the hill is really one of a kind.
They recently added an auditorium too
Make a point to visit if you are ever in Kisii County
All media houses should be limited to one political talk show per week or month depending on what my boss Gen @mkainerugaba tells me to implement. No more endless politicking. That airtime must be used to educate Ugandans on wealth creation.

Dana White reveals people with money tried to get Joe Rogan fired
“In Rogan’s rise, he’s gone through some stuff personally too. I’ve had people call and say you gotta do this to Rogan”
“I’m like, don’t ever call me. Who the hell are you to call me and tell me who I’m going to fire?”
“Joe Rogan did the first 12 fights for us for free”
“When we bought this company, the only two who were any good on radio were me and Joe Rogan but nobody knew who I was”
“We’d get up at 3:00 in the morning, get dropped into East Coast markets, and do the same interviews over and over. Rogan and I did this for years”
“He’s been a key, instrumental part of this company. And for anybody, I don’t give a damn how much money you have, or sponsor, or whatever”
“Nothing’s happening to Joe Rogan. Loyalty. It’s the most important thing in the world to me”
