\|	\|	windowsontheory.org The different forms of quantum computing skepticism - Windows On Theory	3.9 parsecs away Travel
\|	\|	(see also pdf version) Quantum computing is one of the most exciting developments of computer science in the last decades. But this concept is not without its critics, often known as "quantum computing skeptics" or "skeptics" for short. The debate on quantum computing can sometimes confuse the physical and mathematical aspects of this question,...	3.9 parsecs away Travel

\|	\|	Merging quantum mechanics and gravity is a famously hard physics problem. Explaining why merging quantum mechanics and gravity is hard is, in turn, a very hard science communication problem. The more popular descriptions tend to lead to misunderstandings, and I've posted many times over the years to chip away at those misunderstandings. Merging quantum mechanics...	4.7 parsecs away Travel

\|	\|	Abstract: Machine and language models of computation differ so greatly in the computational complexity properties of their representation that they form two distinct classes that cannot be directly compared in a meaningful way. While machine models are self-contained, the properties of the language models indicate that they require a computationally powerful collaborator, and are better...	1.9 parsecs away Travel
