Ciro's large dataset survey: Section "Survey of open source interactive plotting software with a 10 million point scatter plot benchmark by Ciro Santilli".

That makes Ciro Santilli most mad about this film is the fact that the dude was passionate about writing, and when he became a genius, rather than write the best novels ever written, he decided instead to play the stock market instead. This paints an accurate picture of 2020's society, where finance jobs make infinitely more money than other real engineering jobs, and end up attracting much of the talent.

Another enraging thing is how his girlfriend starts liking him again once he is a genius, and instead of telling her to fuck off, he stays with her.

The other really bad thing is the ending. He fixed the drug by himself? He scared off De Niro just like that?

This film is really good.

Oscillator made of an LC circuit.

Amazingly confirms the wave particle duality of quantum mechanics.

The effect is even more remarkable when done with individual particles such individual photons or electrons.

Richard Feynman liked to stress how this experiment can illustrate the core ideas of quantum mechanics. Notably, he night have created the infinitely many slits thought experiment which illustrates the path integral formulation.

Software that maps higher level languages like Qiskit into actual quantum circuits.

Encryption algorithms that run on classical computers that are expected to be resistant to quantum computers.

This is notably not the case of the dominant 2020 algorithms, RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, which are provably broken by Grover's algorithm.

However, as of 2020, we don't have any proof that any symmetric or public key algorithm is quantum resistant.

Post-quantum cryptography is the very first quantum computing thing at which people have to put money into.

The reason is that attackers would be able to store captured ciphertext, and then retroactively break them once and if quantum computing power becomes available in the future.

There isn't a shade of a doubt that intelligence agencies are actively doing this as of 2020. They must have a database of how interesting a given source is, and then store as much as they can given some ammount of storage budget they have available.

A good way to explain this to quantum computing skeptics is to ask them:Post-quantum cryptography is simply not a choice. It must be done now. Even if the risk is low, the cost would be way too great.
