Followup to the Shelter Island Conference, this is where Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman exposed their theories to explain the experiments of the previous conference.

Julian made a formal presentation that took until the afternoon and bored everyone to death, though the mathematics avoided much questioning.

Feynman then presented his revolutionary approach, which he was unable to prove basic properties of, but which gave correct results, and people were not very happy.

They actually abolished the original legal requirement for those institutions to have free scholars as set out by their original charity school beginnings!!! WTF!

But the broadening of scope beyond the Church of England/medieval material was a good thing at least.

TODO clear example of the computational problem that it solves.

proteins also have a half-life, much like RNA. But it tends to be longer.

There is no fundamental difference between them, a quantum algorithm is a quantum circuit, which can be seen as a super complicated quantum gate.

Perhaps the greats practical difference is that algorithms tend to be defined for an arbitrary number of N qubits, i.e. as a function for that each N produces a specific quantum circuit with N qubits solving the problem. Most named gates on the other hand have fixed small sizes.

TODO experimental discovery.
