Ten Years Before the Blog: 2010-2011

In which we look back on the ninth full year of this blog, and one of the most unpleasant incidents in the whole run, which nearly ruined what was otherwise a good year.

This is probably going to be the longest of these posts, at least in terms of the number of links included I've got all of the worthwhile-looking posts open in tabs, and it comes to 82 total. I may ditch a few of them during the post-writing process, but we'll see how that goes. ....

Shtetl-Optimized » Blog Archive » Doubts about teapot supremacy: my reply to Richard Borcherds


Richard Borcherds is a British mathematician at Berkeley, who won the 1998 Fields Medal for the proof of the monstrous moonshine conjecture among many other contributions. A couple months ago, Borcherds posted on YouTube a
self-described “rant” about quantum computing, which was recently making the rounds on Facebook and which I found highly entertaining.
Borcherds points out that the term “quantum supremacy” means only that quantum computers can outperform existing classical computers on
some benchmark, which can be chosen to show maximum advantage for the quantum computer. He allows that BosonSampling could have some value, for example in calibrating quantum computers or in comparing one quantum computer to another, but he decries the popular conflation of quantum supremacy with the actual construction of a scalable quantum computer able (for example) to run Shor’s algorithm to break RSA. ....
