The bane of multicellularity.

A bit like a cult.

Many speakers are good. But especially in TEDx, we've had some notorious ones:

This is basically how quantum computing was first theorized by Richard Feynman: quantum computers as experiments that are hard to predict outcomes.

TODO answer that: quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/5005/why-it-is-hard-to-simulate-a-quantum-device-by-a-classical-devices. A good answer would be with a more physical example of quantum entanglement, e.g. on a photonic quantum computer.

The "0-width" pulse distribution that integrates to a step.

There's not way to describe it as a classical function, making it the most important example of a distribution.

Applications:

Step of electronic design automation that maps the register transfer level input (e.g. Verilog) to a standard cell library.

The output of this step is another Verilog file, but one that exclusively uses interlinked cell library components.

Bibliography:

visualizing the Riemann hypothesis and analytic continuation by 3Blue1Brown (2016) is a good quick visual non-mathematical introduction is to it.

The key question is: how can this continuation be unique since we are defining the function outside of its original domain?

The answer is: due to the identity theorem.
