@Noremak My high school friend is one of the founders of a quantum computer company called IQM: https://www.meetiqm.com/. He is quantum computing professor at Aalto University in Helsinki.

@Noremak I still know nothing about physics but that was the whole point of this learning experiment because in the end of the day it must detach out of physics literature in order to be successful. Early days of semiconductor programming was also more tied to the physics so I expect similar development here.

I've studied algebra and discrete math so I know the binary side, and also vector analysis and linear algebra a bit, so combining that knowledge and thinking superposition states as base transformations helped a lot to cope the topic. It is a game of unit vector spaces with complex factors or that is how I see it like for a regular programmer (like me).

@Noremak Also surprisingly producing some music in the past also helped because also in that you tend deduce stuff from frequency distributions. And also I've written a couples of 3D engines in the past, which has helped a lot understanding unit transformations :-) Enjoyed so far because I really need to stretch all my experience to get shit together in my head (and without being a physician).

Just sharing my experiences for anyone who might give a shot in this area. The mindset with semiconductors is computing. The mindset with quantum IMHO is observation (when put to a single word).

@Noremak Yes!
