Looking at potentially starting a non-fiction #writing group that meets once or twice a month in #Etobicoke or #Toronto. Let me know if you're interested.

Some types of quantum computers (superconducting, semiconductor quantum dot based) operate at temperatures of tens of milliKelvin. Colder than outer space.

An intermediate challenge for quantum startups who want to solve climate change: can you first factor 21?

Craig Gidney @craiggidney.bsky.social · Aug 31

Been awhile since I wrote a blog post.

Anyways... why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?
