This weekly mail usually contains a snippet of the post I just published on Medium with a link to the full post. A few times, I included the entire post in the email.
Today, I try something new. Something different. I tell you a little background story.
Almost a year ago, I started blogging about quantum machine learning—the use of quantum computing to solve machine learning problems. I didn't aim to do it regularly. I didn't desire to write an ebook. And, I absolutely didn't plan to publish the book on Amazon.
Simply, I wanted to write the stuff down in the way I understand them. I am no physicist. And, I am no mathematician. I am a computer scientist. As a computer scientist, I found it hard to make sense out of papers on quantum computing. I have to say, I still do.
Sometimes, it seems to me as if authors try to make things sound as complicated as possible. As if they were saying: “Look at me. I am so intelligent because I can understand these complicated things.” Then, I remember what my Ph.D. supervisor told me. “if your reader can't understand your text, it is not her fault. It is yours. As an author, it is your obligation to make the reader understand what you are saying.”
This is what my blog is about. I aim to explain quantum machine learning in a way that anyone interested can understand.
I have been surprised by how much attention (some of) these posts got. So, I started posting regularly. Then, I was surprised by all the good feedback I got from all of you. So, I decided to put it all into a book. Then, admittedly, I was surprised by how big quantum machine learning is.
At first sight, it seems as if there are only a few algorithms worth mentioning. But once I started to elaborate on the details, I found more and more aspects worth mentioning.
Today's post is one of these aspects. When I cope with classical computers, I usually think in boolean terms. It comes naturally to me. In quantum computing, we need to think differently.
But, sometimes, we simply want to model boolean relationships between specific quantum states. Then, it comes in handy to know how to create such structures.
This is what today's post is about. But today is different. I do not only provide a single link. I give you three! They all redirect you to the post. But the title of the link is your vote.
What do you want to see in my weekly emails?
Thank you for your interest and your support.
