Black Opal
Continuing my quantum studies.
In my spare time I've been slowly chipping away at #BlackOpal by Q-CTRL it's a really accessible way to learn quantum tech and how it connects to real-world problems. I'm six classes down, three to go.
I studied quantum computing when I was at University of Bristol when it was just moving from theory into practice and it's amazing that today we are now seeing examples of quantum processors beating classical techniques. This is opening new ways to model molecules and materials, tackle hard optimisation problems, and advance quantum sensing and communications as the tech scales.
What that power translates into is still an open and live question. But we're not at the foot of the curve anymore, we're on it. And the funny thing about exponentials (here's some maths combined with an existential twist): the relative rate of change either side of any point is identical. By the time you notice the shift, you're already deep in it…
