Followup discussion
of quantum information and science hype

by Eric Drexler on November 17, 2009

My recent post on quantum computation drew comments from quantum information scientist Robert Tucci, which led us into a discussion of hype in science, the pervasive mistake of equating quantum parallelism with parallel computing, and then to Bayesian quantum networks (see Robert’s wide-ranging blog on developments in quantum information science and technology).

You can read the discussion here.
