>They're busy with Numerics Flow, a Tensor Flow-like quantum machine learning framework

I wasn't able to find anything about Google's Numerics flow. Would you provide a reference?

> Anybody else active in this field?

Yes. Rigetti Computing has also been working in this area. https://medium.com/rigetti/rigetti-partners-with-cdl-to-driv...

This is paper was published in Nature last month [0]. It mainly focuses on machine learning algorithms for near-term universal quantum computers (tens to hundreds of qubits). It also talks about machine learning algorithms for quantum annealers like D-Wave's.

Mezzano is a open source Lisp OS: https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano

It says on the revival project page [1] that the plan was to make T R5RS compatible. That is probably why they abandoned T to make Scheme 48 [2]

I am also interested in the revival of this language, but I don't see what the point of that would be. Does anyone here feel the same way?

Why do you think scheme-to-C compilation is the future of programming?

What direction would that be?

r/QuantumComputing[1] is a great place if you want to learn more. We read and discuss one Quantum Computing paper a week.

What are you having trouble with?

Your GitHub account [0] gives Common Lisp some love. Why did you choose to use this language? Specifically, for the implementation of your Quantum Virtual Machine?

Linear Algebra is very important for Quantum Computing. You have a masters in engineering, so you shouldn't have any problems with the math. I suggest you review the basics of Linear Algebra if you haven't applied that knowledge in a while.

John Preskill's lecture notes are invaluable. They start from the basics of Quantum Computing, to Quantum Theory, all the way to advanced concepts such as Topological Quantum Computation:http://www.theory.caltech.edu/people/preskill/ph229/

You can also look over the Quantum Computation course that is hosted at OCW. The instructor for this course was Peter Shor who invented the seminal "Shor's Algorithm":https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-435j-quantum-comp...

These will be enough to get you started, but it is good apply your knowledge by implementing the quantum algorithms that you have learned.There is a huge list of simulators you can use:https://www.quantiki.org/wiki/list-qc-simulators

I know you want references to open courses, but reading papers shouldn't hurt either. I don't know how much experience you have with Quantum Mechanics, but this paper:https://arxiv.org/abs/0708.0261 explains Quantum Computing very well by referring to concepts in Classical Computing. You should read this first if you are not familiar with Quantum Mechanics.

Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!

Good point. NIST has a list of 50 or so algorithms that will provide speedups when implemented on a Quantum Computer:http://math.nist.gov/quantum/zoo/.

I made a compiler for IBM's Quantum Computer:https://github.com/vtomole/aubree. It's​ my most impressive hackathon project because it's the only one that I still work on post-hackathon.

Here is a good introduction:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hKFecm9NKbM

The way I understand it, non-abelian anyons, which are the anyons that can be used to build a universal quantum computer have not been found yet. Correct?

Here is a fantastic video about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKFecm9NKbM

How? Functions are first class in lisp.

Why didn't Uber hire Levandowski, instead of having him build a startup they could buy for hundreds of millions?

This is a really great idea! Reminds me of other projects that are working on integrating IPFS with the Operating System: https://github.com/vtomole/IPOS

Wow, this thread has made me realize that I don't actually have any friends (I'm 20 btw). I just have acquaintances, and I realize that I actually like being alone as long as I entertain myself. Anyone else like me out there?

Is there a list of some active channels I can join?

Would it be possible to put the whole website on IPFS?

Hopefully this kind of problem will be solved within a decade, do you think that's a reasonable time scale or is this problem even unsolvable?

How is this better than an OS based on http, besides privacy and democracy? I'm very interested in this idea, I just don't know if "normal" people care enough about P2P for something like this to receive mainstream adoption.

Aren't optical transistors another option though?

Do you have a source of him using Adderall?

Don't we have a couple of "Linux" like browsers already? Like Konqueror? Or are those not good enough?

Do you have any other ideas of how browsers are going to make money? Without charging their customers?

Haha me too. But not shrooms, DXM.
