What the heck is a qubit?
Quantum computing is based on the idea of using qubits to do, well, quantum computing. But what exactly is a qubit?
Things I think about, read, and write.

Bell’s experiment was the final nail in the coffin for the prevalent intuition of the world – local realism. The test gave a ‘simple’ way to test quantum physics and either disprove/prove Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen’s argument (EPR) that quantum mechanics was an incomplete picture of the world.
This is part 2 of the encryption series. Part 1 can be found here.
As part of my work, I have been reading about cryptography and how randomness plays a role in make our data secure. As part of this exploration, I started reading about public-key encryption, and it’s quite fascinating. So I want to write about it. This helps me clarify my thoughts, and scratches this “teaching” itch that I often have.
I used to spend a majority of my time on the online game DotA. Things have since changed, with my interest pivoting to more story-based games. Clair Obscur - Expedition 33 is the the latest on my roster. I hadn’t heard of it at all before release, and was swept up in the hype.
