McIntyre or Griffiths' QM might be useful.

I had the same experience; that's mostly what I'm referencing. Trying to use things like The Hacker's Dictionary (largely in-jokes, bad jargon, and obnoxious circular definitions) to clear it up made the problem worse. I get that it's just a humor book, but still.

Yeah, it's not like any programmers have ever come up with bizzare and useless names for abstractions.

Gee, I wish they'd mentioned that in the literal first panel of the comic.

At least they've made a new competitor to the linguistic mockery that is Carls Jr.

"It doesn't matter how much garbage I produce, everyone else makes way more!"

Having "quantum computing" in the title makes this genuine clickbait when the body lacks any explanation of what a state is or what a ket is. Energy or momentum or spin states are rarely (never, in reality) just numbers.

You made no attempt to explain what the two different states in a single ket mean: hint, it's superposition. Never provided even a trivial justification for why normalization is important; where is the actual physics?

Using Rust here is also quite pointless when you're just doing linear algebra... where is the actual benefit over Python or even Haskell?

You've written a very cute and inefficient math library, but calling this QC is just false advertising.

It's basically a 90-year-old pun involving splitting the word "bracket" into "bra" and "ket".

There's a really easy solution here: just use a device with a super shitty battery and only charge it once a day. Then, hide the cable.

Now there's an incentive for them to learn electrical engineering.

Turkey is doing almost the exact same atrocities today under Erdogan that they did in the 1920s under Ataturk.

jacquesm's really disagreeing with the person above you, probably just replied to the wrong comment.

History matters. Where can anyone draw the line?
