I’ve recently become very interested in QC and purchased and read Quantum Computation and quantum Information which I think is the standard book on the subject right now.
I’m even more interested in applying what I’ve learned but I’m at a loss as to how to begin working in the industry. Aside from getting a new masters degree I wouldn’t know where to begin and resources on the matter are understandably sparse.
Well right now I am very skeptical, but I think we have somewhat given quantum computing plenty of time (we have given it decades) unless someone can convince me that it is not a scam.
Right now it hasn't amounted to anything useful, other than Shor's and 'experiments' and promises and applications that are no better done on a GPU rack right now.
