What got you interested in Quantum Computing?

Was it the physics, the math, or the potential for breaking encryption? For me, it was seeing a Bloch sphere for the first time and realizing how different computing could be.

The implications are terrifying for current RSA infrastructure. NIST post-quantum standards can't come fast enough!

I'm thinking of majoring in physics because of posts like this. What's the one research paper every beginner should read first?

The commercial roadmap for this is 5-7 years out, but the 'quantum-ready' software layer is already attracting significant VC interest.

Agreed. I've been looking at Dilithium for a project. The performance is better than I expected for a lattice-based scheme.

This sounds like science fiction becoming reality! How long until we can use this to design actual new materials in the lab?
