I think a lot of software engineers felt this way in December of 2025 when Claude code could actually run unsupervised for an hour.
Lo and behold, software engineers are still here 9 months later, and the job market is still improving.
Now, I understand math is not quite the

Learning is primarily a social activity.
This is why, even though classrooms are not effective, they have a far higher completion rate than self-paced moocs.
This isn't unique to learning:
- gym = build cardio/muscles with buddies
- office = work on a project with coworkers

You are so gleeful about my life as a mathematician crumbling. Why? Did I do something to you? Did I ever do something to you beyond the crime of learning and thinking about things?

Explaining a subject in your own words is the most efficient way to learn a subject, and it continues to work even as you get really advanced.
It forces a durable encoding of the subject in your own mind (you memorize it better) and it exposes your knowledge gaps.

@Jeyffre In summary there is an improvement in Quantum computing but not close to the stage where it frightens the security of Bitcoin and also it is some kind of PR buzz by Google to put it out there that we are up to something. Gotcha!

1. Write about some seemingly powerful tech that creates fear (AI, nuclear, quantum, etc). Fear creates engagement.

Quantum computing is kind of at the stage right now where some smart teenager wired a few logic gates together in a random fashion and said "hey look, my circuit made a random output and didn't explode!" Compared to previous attempts, it is an improvement. But he is still a long

But how big a step is this towards quantum computers breaking cryptography?
What google did is create a circuit with 9 gates, 25 gates, and 49 gates (very roughly speaking) and noticed that the accuracy of the output seemed to improve — or rather the computation failed less.

However, note that the problem is "rigged" in favor of quantum computers. The benchmark is explicitly modeling a quantum phenomenon, so *of course* we get a speedup.
In other words, Google created a random distribution on the output that "seems correct." Why does it "seem

By analogy, this is what Google was doing. The computation Google was doing was a "pseudo-random quantum circuit" (think pseudoranom ice cube) but we know a quantum circuit is just matrix multiplications (on crack). Therefore, it is a bunch of random matrix multiplications with

However, you can *estimate* the distribution of how the laser will scatter without a quantum computer, so you can have at least a rough idea if your answer might be correct.
Theoretically, a quantum computer can predict what the laser will do when it enters and exits the ice

Let's look at a specific (oversimplified but helpful) example. Suppose you shine a laser beam into an ice cube.
Actually simulating what the laser will do when it exits the ice cube is very hard to predict because some quantum phenomena is involved.

The current problem with quantum computers is that as the circuit gets bigger, they become less correct on average. All of the "talking to each other" creates so much noise the system stops working.
Once your probability of being correct drops below a certain threshold your

Like a regular computer, a quantum computer keeps bits in groups. So a 64 bit quantum computer would have a vector of 64 2d vectors serving as it's "word."
Here is where the speedup happens: in a regular computer, each of the 64 bits don't know anything about the value of any of

Running a quantum circuit means you plug in a quantum vector, run it through a bunch of matrix multiplications, then collapse the output.
The final vector will be the correct answer. Technically, quantum computers can give wrong answers, but if you run the computation multiple

For example, a non-collapsed qbit might look like [0.8366, 0.5477].
A quantum gate is effectively matrix multiplication. If you multiply a qbit (2-dim vector) by a 2x2 matrix, you get another qbit (2-bit vector) back. For example, a quantum NOT gate looks like the 2x2 matrix htt

A quantum computer, instead of using bits, uses a qbit.
A qbit is a two-dimensional vector of real numbers. This means one qbit can hold "infinitely" more information than a single regular bit.
A bit can only hold 0 or 1, but a qbit can hold a 2d vector of real numbers, so it

You can think of an individual qbit as a "probability distribution" -- it averages around certain values but doesn't have a concrete value.
However, when the qbit is "observed" it is forced into a vector representation of either [1, 0] represnting a binary 0, or [0, 1]

First we need a crash course in quantum computing.
A classical computer keeps information in 64-bit groups called "words."
Each of these groups of bits are run through logic gates such as AND, OR, and NOT.
These gates take one or two bits as an input and return a single bit as

I read Google's paper about their quantum computer so you don't have to.
They claim to have ran a quantum computation in 5 minutes that would take a normal computer 10^25 years.
But what was that computation? Does it live up to the hype?
I will break it down.🧵
