Hi - thanks for pointing this out. I've added a note clearing up that as you correctly write the quantum interpretation makes sense at the single photon level. Obviously it's hard to generate and manipulate single photons without

Hey, you're right you could use a stick on a piece of paper etc. Totally fair. That being said this is in fact a real application where a qubit can model things a standard bit can't. Professor Aaronson describes it in this paper:

Hey - this is perfectly reasonable and constructive feedback - thank you! I see your point that the polarization example can be explained using classical approaches. I wanted to explain it in terms of individual photons as I wanted to use t

Yes - I used the term computer because it really does allow you to mock this quantum algorithm: https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/qcoin13.pdf . It's described in Professor Aaronson's lecture notes here: ht

Hey - you totally could to mock this exact setup like you're suggesting. However, in a real quantum computer setup you would take one qubit and apply either the positive or negative rotation gate to it again and again and rotate the st

Thanks for the kind words! I've been told to improve my handwriting but here I finally have proof I don't need to haha

This article does point out a lot of things that have failed this decade - all fair points. But in focusing on failures it fails to capture that casual education (not formal, school education) has fundamentally shifted this decade. Today, I

For those wondering, here’s how GoodRx works and makes money: 1. GoodRx obtains prices of drugs at all pharmacies through contracts it has with PBMs (middleman that determines insurance payouts to pharmacies). 2. Pharmacies have wildly diff

Hey! I wrote this article - “we” is referring to people who had a similar educational experience to me. I was introduced to matrices as a tool for solutions to systems of equations. I always wish I was taught the functional perspective from

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. I go into this in the next post on eigenvectors here: https://www.dhruvonmath.com/2019/02/25/eigenvectors/ . I start by discussing basis vectors which I believe is what you’r

Hey OP here! When I first was introduced to matrices (high school) it was in the context of systems of equations. Matrices were a shorthand for writing out the equations and happened to have interesting rules for addition etc. It took me a

OP here: Your approach is pretty on point because Planetary Motion was actually the first recorded motivation for eigenvectors. Cauchy published a paper on planetary motion in 1829 which made use of what we now call Eigenvectors. See here f

I know! I’ve just been a little lazy. I’ll get a domain later today.
