I love the way this is presented and how it makes it appealing for the common person

Would be interested to hear the state of the art with quantum computing if anyone on HN can speak to it. Seems strange that people are getting recognized for using cryptography to ensure that some degree of “quantum ness” is being used in (quasi?) quantum computations?

There's a gap between a programmer and a mathematician. In future, new generation of programmers are also mathematicians, i think.
