Followup discussion
of quantum information and science hype

by Eric Drexler on 2009/11/17

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.
