Chordate is a sad clade.
You read the name and think: hmm, neural cords!
But then you see that his is one of its members:
Yup. That's your cousin. And it's a much closer cousin than something like arthropods, which at least have heads eyes and legs like you.
Convergent evolution is crazy!

2020-so-far yes, Grover's algorithm would only effectively reduce key sizes by half:but there isn't a mathematical proof either.
This is a neologism by Ciro Santilli, it refers to the fact that Zatoichi was not fully blind, but extremely hard of sight, which makes him:and metaphorically refers to similar situations where a person or group of people are in the middle of two groups and not part of either of them.
- too capable for the blind people, who did not trust him
- too incapable for non-blind people, who despised him
A related thing that comes to mind is Aum Shinrikyo's Prophet Shoko Asahara, who was semi blind, and would bully the fully blind people of his school for blind people.

The example under verilog/interactive showcases how to create a simple interactive visual Verilog example using Verilator and SDL.
You could e.g. expand such an example to create a simple (or complex) video game for example if you were insane enough. But please don't waste your time doing that, Ciro Santilli begs you.
The example is also described at: stackoverflow.com/questions/38108243/is-it-possible-to-do-interactive-user-input-and-output-simulation-in-vhdl-or-ver/38174654#38174654
Usage: install dependencies:then run as either:Tested on Verilator 4.038, Ubuntu 22.04.
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev verilatormake run RUN=and2
make run RUN=moveFile overview:
In those examples, the more interesting application specific logic is delegated to Verilog (e.g.: move game character on map), while boring timing and display matters can be handled by SDL and C++.

Quantum Computing with Trapped Ions by Christopher Monroe (2018)
Source. Co-founder of IonQ. Cool dude. Starts with basic background we already know now. Mentions that there is some relationship between atomic clocks and trapped ion quantum computers, which is interesting. Then he goes into turbo mode, and you get lost unless you're an expert! Video 1. "Quantum Simulation and Computation with Trapped Ions by Christopher Monroe (2021)" is perhaps a better watch.- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1216 superconducting qubits are bad because it is harder to ensure that they are all the same
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1270 our wires are provided by lasers. Gives example of ytterbium, which has nice frequencies for practical laser choice. Ytterbium ends in 6s2 5d1, so they must remove the 5d1 electron? But then you are left with 2 electrons in 6s2, can you just change their spins at will without problem?
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1391 a single atom actually reflects 1% of the input laser, not bad!
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1475 a transition that they want to drive in Ytterbium has 355 nm, which is easy to generate TODO why.
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1520 mentions that 351 would be much harder, e.g. as used in inertially confied fusion, takes up a room
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1539 what they use: a pulsed laser. It is made primarily for photolithography, Coherent, Inc. makes 200 of them a year, so it is reliable stuff and easy to operate. At www.coherent.com/lasers/nanosecond/avia-nx we can see some of their 355 offers. archive.ph/wip/JKuHI shows a used system going for 4500 USD.
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1584 Cirac and Zoller proposed the idea of using entangled ions soon after they heard about Shor's algorithm in 1995
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1641 you use optical tweezers to move the pairs of ions you want to entangle. This means shining a laser on two ions at the same time. Their movement depends on their spin, which is already in a superposition. If both move up, their distance stats the same, so the Coulomb interaction is unchanged. But if they are different, then one goes up and the other down, distance increases due to the diagonal, and energy is lower.
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=1939 S. Debnah 2016 Nature experiment with a pentagon. Well, it is not a pentagon, they are just in a linear chain, the pentagon is just to convey the full connectivity. Maybe also Satanism. Anyways. This point also mentions usage of an acousto-optic modulator to select which atoms we want to act on. On the other side, a simpler wide laser is used that hits all atoms (optical tweezers are literally like tweezers in the sense that you use two lasers). Later on mentions that the modulator is from Harris, later merged with L3, so: www.l3harris.com/all-capabilities/acousto-optic-solutions
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=2119 Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm. This to illustrate better connectivity of their ion approach compared to an IBM quantum computer, which is a superconducting quantum computer

- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=2740 Zhang et al. Nature 2017 paper about a 53 ion system that calculates something that cannot be classically calculated. Not fully controllable though, so more of a continuous-variable quantum information operation.
- youtu.be/9aOLwjUZLm0?t=2923 usage of cooling to 4 K to get lower pressures on top of vacuum. Before this point all experiments were room temperature. Shows image of refrigerator labelled Janis cooler, presumably something like: qd-uki.co.uk/cryogenics/janis-recirculating-gas-coolers/
