What I'd Like Government Officials to Know About Near-Term Applications of Quantum Computing, Bureau of Intelligence and Research, US State Department (online), September 7, 2023. Neurocryptography, Invited Plenary Talk at Crypto'2023, UCSB, Santa Barbara, CA, August 23, 2023.
There are two ways to teach quantum mechanics. The first way -- which for most physicists today is still the only way -- follows the historical order in which the ideas were discovered. So, you start with classical mechanics and electrodynamics, solving lots of grueling differential equations at every step.
Aug 26, 2018 · These are standard (ie boring) lecture notes, so Ok, just teach the prerequisites. But why try to indoctrinate newbies with all kinds of non science? Your lecture on “interpretations” fails to even mention the most obvious “interpretation”, that nature is just random and that is that.
May 20, 2020 · Two years ago, I posted detailed lecture notes on this blog for my Intro to Quantum Information Science undergrad course at UT Austin. Today, with enormous thanks to UT PhD student Corey Ostrove, we’ve gotten the notes into a much better shape (for starters, they’re now in LaTeX).
Jul 18, 2016 · The Complexity of Quantum States and Transformations: From Quantum Money to Black Holes. Scott Aaronson. These are lecture notes from a weeklong course in quantum complexity theory taught at the Bellairs Research Institute in Barbados, February 21-25, 2016.
At my leisure and discretion, and in consultation with the Shtetl-Optimized Committee of Guardians, I’ll put on the blog a curated selection of comments that I judge to be particularly interesting or to move the topic forward, and I’ll do my best to answer those. But it will be more like Letters to the Editor.
