Gee, I wish they'd mentioned that in the literal first panel of the comic.

At least they've made a new competitor to the linguistic mockery that is Carls Jr.

eigenloss | 6 years ago | on: What is a ket? How do traits work? Quantum computing in Rust, part 1

Having "quantum computing" in the title makes this genuine clickbait when the body lacks any explanation of what a state is or what a ket is. Energy or momentum or spin states are rarely (never, in reality) just numbers.

You made no attempt to explain what the two different states in a single ket mean: hint, it's superposition. Never provided even a trivial justification for why normalization is important; where is the actual physics?

Using Rust here is also quite pointless when you're just doing linear algebra... where is the actual benefit over Python or even Haskell?

You've written a very cute and inefficient math library, but calling this QC is just false advertising.
