Controlled quantum gates are gates that have two types of input qubits:These gates can be understood as doing a certain unitary operation only if the control qubits are enabled or disabled.

The first example to look at is the CNOT gate.

There are a few possibilities:

A compiled executable under /usr/bin/csvtool, has an Ubuntu 23.04 package: manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lunar/en/man1/csvtool.1.html

There seems to be no sane filtering mechanism however: stackoverflow.com/questions/46540752/using-csvtool-call-to-filter-csv-in-bash

After the 2019 redefinition of the SI base units it is by definition exactly $1.60217663410^{-19}$ Joules.

Looks very impressive! Last update marked 2011 as of 2020.

Goes up to "A.15 quantum field theory in a Nanoshell", Ciro have to review it to see if there's anything worthwhile in that section.

Personal page says he retired as of 2020: www.eng.fsu.edu/~dommelen/ But hopefully he has more time for these notes!

And he appears to have his own lightweight markup language that transpiles to LaTeX called l2h: www.eng.fsu.edu/~dommelen/l2h/

The japanese name literally means:

The dot product is a positive definite matrix, and so we see that those will have an important link to familiar geometry.

A quote by Ciro's Teacher R.:

If the goals are not ambitious enough, you risk not even having useful side effects so show in the end!

By doing the prerequisites of the impossible goal you desire, maybe the next generation will be able to achieve it.

This is basically why Ciro Santilli has contributed to Stack Overflow, which has happened while was doing his overly ambitious projects and notice that all kinds of basic pre-requisites were not well explained anywhere.

This is especially effective when you use backward design, because then you will go "down the dependency graph of prerequisites" and smoothen out any particularly inefficient points that you come across.

Going into such productive procrastination is also known informally as yak shaving.

There are of course countless examples of such events:

The danger of this approach is of course spending too much time on stuff that will not be done enough times to be worth it, as highlighted by several xkcds:

TODO arguments, proofs

Is this the one?

This is hot shit, a possible worst case but sure to get there scenario to understand the brain!
