PinnedQuantum Computing for Dummies- Part 1Disclaimer: The latter half of the article gets pretty technical. For casual readers, I suggest looking into the first and second sections for a brief overview of what quantum computers are and some pretty neat quantum mechanics that they manipulate. An Introduction to Quantum Computing As a kid, or even as an adult, it’s always…Quantum Computing14 min read
Published in Python in Plain English·Jan 10Simulate Quantum Particles with Python and QiskitCode walkthrough on a classical and quantum computer. — View the complete code on my GitHub Since their birth, quantum computers have been seen as a promising tool to be able to simulate what is happening at the quantum scale. In the status quo, we rely on computationally inefficient algorithms attempting to simulate quantum phenomena. …Quantum10 min read
Published in students x students·Jun 11, 2021Finding the Ground State of the Transverse Ising ModelGithub repo with my code This article gets a bit technical. Some background in linear algebra or quantum mechanics may be helpful for better understanding. If you don’t have that, no worries. Don’t be scared of the math, as most of it I tried explaining simply. …Quantum Computing10 min read

The summit consisted of talks by some of the biggest industry leaders, including the co-founder of Nest Labs, on building technology for real, long-term change. One talk in the conference that really stumped…Business7 min read
Nov 10, 2020Quantum Encryption: Fighting Quantum with QuantumIn my previous article, I talked about Shor’s Algorithm- a quantum algorithm that can be applied to break current RSA encryption. Luckily for us, current quantum computers have been using Shor’s to factor numbers such as 21, not 512 bit RSA keys. However, this has just been due to the…Quantum Cryptography4 min read
Nov 2, 2020Shor’s Algorithm- Decrypting RSA with QuantumYou’re watching a spy movie. The secret agent has 1 minute to decrypt the message to save the country from an incoming attack. He whips out his computer and smashes the keys on his keyboard. He exclaims, “Dammmit I can’t get past this firewall!” More key smashing. And just when…Quantum Computing6 min read
