Today I finished my first neural network. I’ll be blogging about that as soon as my brain stops hurting.

Last night, I learned about IBM’s Q. Relatively soon, I will have the knowledge and skill to perform quantum computing with neural networks through IBM’s Quantum Information Science Toolkit (Qiskit).

If you think about traditional computing, the idea of typing a bunch of words onto a screen and causing countless tiny electrical impulses to effect billions of microscopic transistors is pretty mindblowing. But, the idea of writing code to make electrons spin (superposition) and/or become entangled (quantum entanglement) is just ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

Therefore, it is now one of my modest goals to spin and entangle subatomic particles, just in case I get to have a conversation with Neil Degrasse Tyson someday. I’d also like to do something important with it, don’t get me wrong, but, first, I’d like to have a world champion water cooler story.
