Ask HN: Good resources to learn quantum computing

TripleH — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 14:38:10 +0000

I remember learning the basis via a wonderful website designed to teach quantum computing (qubits, Bloch sphere, doors up until explaining Shor) with recurrent quizzes, whose content depended on what you had good/wrong on the previous one. Though I can't find a mention of it anywhere, HN submissions/comments or search engines.

As I'd like to brush up my knowledge, any recommendation of the best resources to get a 101 on the subject?

I have some previous experience in calculus and GPU, hopefully my memories of computer graphics classes will help me in this journey.

A huge thank for your advices and the methodology shared!

The company did not hire me to do scientific computing, rather build the beginning of an ambitious software platform which, beside other things, will leverage a scientific computing component. As we are a start up, I'm more than happy to go out my comfort zone to work on the first steps of this component, before we hire specialist in the years to come.

Thanks for your advices on MATLAB and Python, and I'll take a look at OpenMPI. Who knows, maybe I may have the option to understand what the code is doing if I put some work into it :-)

Ask HN: Resources to Learn Scientific Computing?

TripleH — Mon, 24 May 2021 14:17:38 +0000

After some years of software engineering (mobile apps and back end development) in classic business domains, I recently joined a company in a scientific domain (space).

I gathered along the way knowledge of how to architecture and build systems depending on the expected volumetry (numbers of active users) and its distribution in time (periods of activity).

Now I'm faced with the challenge of turning Matlab (or equivalent) scripts of the research team designed to run on a single machine for a single data point, into a system able to perform those computations on a lot more data and eventually in a distributed manner.

I am well aware there is no silver bullet and will have to compose a solution based on the specifics of my use case. That's why I'm asking you, the truly diverse HN community, for the best resources you know on the subject.

"And quite frankly, I hope I don’t have to give another live lecture ever again. I’ll tape it; I’ll have them watch it — I know most of them are going to watch it at 1.5 or 2x speed. I’ll sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks, but that’s OK. Then we can spend the time in class actually working on problems or discussing some of the issues that I brought up."

Beside the joke, I find the concept of ingesting content at your pace and then talking about it in class very interesting. No idea if the knowledge will stick in mind as well as classic lectures, but I would definitely have been seduced by this proposition when I was a student.

An orthoplist.

New comment by TripleH in "‘A Swiss cheese-like material’ that can solve equations"

TripleH — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 13:40:34 +0000

For a novice like me, it sounds a bit like quantum computing, where rather than "digitalizing" a physical problem like we do with classic computing, we use physical properties of elements (like the spin of an electron) to solve it. How far does this analogy go ?
