Quantum Computing Weekly
By Jesper Thomschutz
π Hi folks and welcome to Quantum Computing Weekly!
This is a newsletter about Qubits, Quantum Logic Gates, occasional mandatory cat jokes, and more.
First off, let me get this out of the way: I'm not a quantum computing expert - not a Ph.D. in anything - just a humble legacy-computer programmer with a passion to learn more about the world of quantum computing.
Join me on my journey with this newsletter as I share news, articles, videos, and anything else I come across that I think is interesting while learning about quantum computers.
