Post 4: How to get a PhD in Quantum Computing in 30 Minutes or Less ⚛️

Published:

 

Do you want a PhD in quantum computing without having to deal with math and circuit programming?

Well, you can achieve it by playing “The QuBit Game” developed by the Google Quantum AI team

Here is my PhD certificate :) (and a short Twitter thread for more details about this awesome game)

Now that i have a PhD i can understand everything about quantum computing. Not every day you read about the possibility of quantum entanglement between two qubits and a tardigrade in cryptobiosis 🧐 This preprint is awesome! It has Quantum biology, quantum computing, harmonic oscillators, and a gentle treatment of the tardigrade involved in the circuit creation. Definitely one of the best trash that I’ve read.

(Disclaimer: Let it be clear that this is a joke paper. But it has the potential for an Ig Nobel)

Although the quantum tardigrade thing was a joke, in reality, their biology, and specifically the proteins of these tiny animals have great potential for future biotechnological developments, for example, as strategies against cellular damage from radiation or desiccation. Here’s a nice and recent review on this:
