『日経サイエンス』11月号の特集（量子情報創世記）の記事を読んでいたら、懐かしい話が見つかりました。
私が最初に量子コンピュータの事を聞いたのは、入社同期の井桁和浩さんの量子フレドキンゲートの研究だったのですが、記事中（p.39）にその研究の話が書かれていました。

One of my favourite letters, insightful & humane, from Richard Feynman to a former student who was having a rough time
I was reflecting on it as an argument in favour of scope insensitivity, or even in favour of smaller problems:

Singapore to become a quantum-safe nation. Proud of SpeQtral. prn.to/47upb3V
Fascinating.

hear! hear!
Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics are timeless: their main strength is in demonstrating how to reason about physics. You may not know all the lectures are completely online:

No. I think the best argument against moral equivalency is that denying that one culture is better than another entails denying that the future state of one's own culture can be better than the present. It denies the possibility of progress, is hostile to it, and sides with evil.

This is how Jupiter has protected earth for billions of years. The gravity of Jupiter keeps most asteroids and space rocks away from Earth. Without it earth would most likely be uninhabitable for humans. Mad respect for Jupiter.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Solar system simulations by planetary scientists indicate the opposite may be true. Jupiter may actually be driving comets and asteroids towards Earth, not away from it, increasing overall rates of impact.

Polish cryptologists who made a breakthrough in cracking the Enigma are: Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski, and Jerzy Różycki. I understand that the spelling can be challenging, but they deserve recognition and gratitude!

In 1973, the legendary mathematician Paul Erdős asked if it’s possible to build a hypergraph with two seemingly incompatible properties. In a 50-page proof, a quartet of mathematicians recently showed that it is. quantamagazine.org/hypergrap…
