I don’t think I’d be wrong in saying that quantum mechanics, and quantum computing specifically, is not an easy topic for people to wrap their heads around. And I don’t mean for just non-science people, but even for those with Ph.Ds in equally complicated subject areas. But this week I got one step closer to […]
