Please don’t read any of these books. Read math, physics, CS, biology, and econ textbooks.

I have to put King of capital on my read list, I read all others on the top half, only a few on the bottom half

@asifhossainn @MartinShkreli What are your goals/intentions?

@7777audio @browomo The Claude application is very computationally inefficient. After I get to ~40% context, the application begins to lag and gets visually buggy on my M2 MacBook Pro

[wavefuncle @wavefuncle]

@PolyMathis0 @not_ellington Yeah, this is clearly Claude generated lol

@yacineMTB @tszzl It’s not a scam as a technology, it’s just a scam as a company. It could provide real economic value, we just don’t have a clear path towards that.

@redaction Probably has to do with age, lack of sleep, stress, etc

@DrSiyabMD @Pregory1 Don’t you have to build it in order to prove it works?

@GillVerd What do you think the prospects are for Thermodynamic computing being able to directly simulate the evolution of any arbitrary Hamiltonian?

@IanDodds_ @abemurray That’s the kind of stuff that teaches the company a wealth of information !

@DanAdvantage @grok What is the etymology of the term “clankfucker”?

@xz4cwm63 @aleabitoreddit @wallstengine Do you understand quantum computation?

[wavefuncle @wavefuncle]

I cannot decisively say IONQ specifically has potential in the *foreseeable future* to show quantum advantage.

In all honesty, I think IONQ is going to be the best at scaling. They’re set up quite well to do it, and are forward thinking in that regard. To be honest, I don’t believe the difficulty is going to be achieving (insert number of logical qubits.)

The real difficulty, which in my opinion, has no moat once it’s done, is achieving useful quantum control.

In principle, we can build up these systems to tremendously large size in Hilbert Space (you can simply think about it as the realm “quantum mechanical states live in.” QC scales according to 2^N, so for every qubit you add, you will double your theoretically addressable state space.

That’s all well and good, but one of the things I rarely hear publicly talked about is achieving *quantum control* over that space. Meaning, if we want the system to do a thing, how well, and for how long can we keep it on the tracks?

The reason I may be more bullish on *quantum control* for neutral atom systems is because there’s amazing work being done explicitly useful to QC outside of pure QC research. Neutral atom QCs work great in a cavity QED system, and much of the progress of quantum control in cavityQED is being led by quantum metrology groups who are very closely affiliated to major QC plays (I.e Quera, INFQ, Atom computing, etc).

TLDR: for infrastructure scaling, IONQ is in a position an order of magnitude better than the person right below them, and for fundamental quantum science/computing, the neutral atom platforms are massively ahead. Coherence time isn’t the bottleneck if you can do your computation before the system decoheres!

I didn’t directly answer your question, but I hope I provided valuable nuance to give perspective on evaluating these things.

@DravenEric94535 @Cat_States If their core technology isn’t ready, shouldn’t they be going all in on it?

[wavefuncle @wavefuncle]

@DravenEric94535 @Cat_States I’m curious if the acquisition rampage is at all fueled by doubt their core technology will pan out. I.e, it is a means to hedge.

@MisfitToyNumbr5 @IonQ_Inc How so

[wavefuncle @wavefuncle]

@mean_field_zane @fluxtheorist The recommendations from @fluxtheorist are great
