| | In our last primer we saw the Fourier series, which flushed out the notion that a periodic function can be represented as an infinite series of sines and cosines. While this is fine and dandy, and quite a powerful tool, it does not suffice for the real world. In the real world, very little is truly periodic, especially since human measurements can only record a finite period of time. Even things we wish to explore on this blog are hardly periodic (for instance, image analysis).

| | [AI summary] The paper presents a quantum computing experiment using ion traps to demonstrate the performance of a quantum algorithm for a specific task. The key findings include the successful implementation of a quantum algorithm that outperforms classical counterparts, with results showing a quadratic speedup in specific cases. The experiment involved a 2D ion trap system with 16 ions, and the algorithm was applied to a problem in quantum simulation. The researchers used a combination of laser cooling and trapping techniques to maintain the ions in a stable state, and they implemented quantum gates using microwave and laser pulses. The results were validated through experimental measurements and compared with theoretical predictions, showing good agreemen...

| Large-scale quantum computers are capable of breaking all of the common forms of asymmetric cryptography used on the Internet today. Luckily, they don't exist yet. The Internet-wide transition to post-quantum cryptography began in 2022 when NIST announced their final candidates for key exchange and signatures in the NIST PQC competition. There is plenty written about the various algorithms and standardization processes that are underway. The conventional wisdom is that it will take a long time to transit...
