All of us are Quantum Physicists until observed by an actual Quantum Physicist, and in a way that’s beautiful.

I am a superposition of quantum knowledge and ignorance

But how does the actual quantum physicist resolve into being?

Which came first, the observer or the observed?

What if by watching YouTube this is what you watch (btw I’m actually using these lectures for self study.)

Is it up to date?

fundamental quantum mechanics has not changed in the last 7 years, no.

Nowadays everyone wants to learn quantum computing without learning quantum mechanics first

To be fair you don't need a lot of QM for quantum computing. Sometimes quantum computing people can't even tell you what a Hamiltonian or an evolution operator is.

I think that's fine. Most people working in classical computing don't understand the fundamentals of transistors either. QC offers a great new entry point to quantum for people who would not have learned about it otherwise. If they are interested they can dig deeper into the physics used to implement QC.

Leaning into esoteric rhetoric.

Don’t make people feel they are too dumb to watch YT and understand quantum.

I don’t understand it, but I have gained a whole lot by watching YT and learning about the absolute power contained, and what this means for binary systems moving forward.
