Physics Metaphysics Physics Book I At the end of Book I of Aristotle’s Physics, he claims that he has sufficiently argued that there are principles, that he has shown what those principles are, and that he has determined how many of them there are.

ARD was the first venture capital firm, which for some time was led by Georges Doriot.

Aurelius’ straightforward style of philosophizing in Meditations is a refreshing change from the dominant academic approach to philosophy.

I ran my first marathon last weekend.

"Useful" is a loaded term.

The Copyright Act of 1909 posited that any published work that did not have a copyright notice attached to it was in the public domain.

A few weeks ago, I was a mentor for the NYU Abu Dhabi Quantum Hackathon for Social Good in the Arab World.

Phenomenology Anthropology and Psychology Truth as Disclosedness Phenomenology Edmund Husserl and his student Martin Heidegger were German philosophers who were active in the 20th century.

$\newcommand{\ket}[1]{\left|{#1}\right\rangle}$ $\newcommand\bra[1]{\langle{#1}|}$ $\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\left\lVert#1\right\rVert}$ The two basic simulation algorithms: Schrödinger's state-vector algorithm and Feynman's path algorithm. have their pros a…

"Knowledge of history is stored somewhere.

"Puzzles to solve and matter to organize.

$\newcommand{\ket}[1]{\left|{#1}\right\rangle}$ $\newcommand\bra[1]{\langle{#1}|}$ A field is a set that has the following properties defined for addition and multiplication: associativity, commutativity, distributivity, identity and an inverse.

$\newcommand{\ket}{\left|{#1}\right\rangle}$ $\newcommand\bra[1]{\langle{#1}}$ $\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\left\lVert#1\right\rVert}$ Quantum information scrambling is when local information is thrown into a disorder throughout a quantum system.

$\newcommand{\ket}[1]{\left|{#1}\right\rangle}$ $\newcommand\bra[1]{\langle{#1}|}$ $\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\left\lVert#1\right\rVert}$ The evolution of a quantum system is governed by the Schrödinger equation $i \dfrac{d\ket{\psi(t)}}{dt} = H \ket{\psi(t)}…

$\newcommand{\ket}[1]{\left|{#1}\right\rangle}$ $\newcommand\bra[1]{\langle{#1}|}$ It's easy to be confused on what "measuring on a basis" means; especially if one is not familiar with Linear Algebra.

Introduction Quantum Phase estimation is an important subroutine in quantum computing.

Introduction Qchackers built an SDK for quantum computers at Hack ISU last weekend.

Introduction Quantum entanglement is a powerful physical phenomenon where quantum systems interact in a way that they can't be described independently of each other.

I did an Introduction to Quantum Computing talk for the Friday Activities at Noon (FAN) Club today.

Introduction Rigetti put their 19 qubit processor on the cloud at the end of last year.

I have spent the past few weeks trying to understand Recurrent Neural Networks; either they are very simple to understand, or I am missing something.

Convolution neural networks are mainly used for computer vision.

Last week; I learned a huge lesson, machine learning is costly.

The last post talked about Markov Chains, so the next step is to use these chains to implement a reward process that is the basis for Reinforcement Learning.

The basic premise of this type of learning is that an agent only does things that can maximize its reward.

The backpropagation algorithm has two parts, the Forward-Propagation and the Backpropagation.

Backpropagation is the standard Machine Learning algorithm.

The human brain is a complicated system that is responsible for every single human accomplishment and endeavor.
