It's hard to distinguish non-Google projects with Google Sans in their templates from actual Google Research papers, as the font is meant to be exclusively used by Google[1].
In case folks don't know who he is, Ted Chiang wrote the short story collection "Stories of your Life and Others", and one of the stories was "Story of your Life", on which the movie Arrival was based.
It is an amazing book, not just for science fiction fans. The first story, "Tower of Babylon" somehow is like a science fiction story but based on ancient people's cosmology. Great book.
The stories are insanely creative and leave you thinking: Hell is the absence of God is a fantastic genre-bender I can imagine few other authors writing. Exhalation is also great, but it's in a different anthology.
Best story in the book, imo. The first and last story (about the angels) are the best. I was a little underwhelmed by _Story Of Your Life_ and _Understand_, given their reputation.
I highly recommend "Quantum computing for the very curious"[0] for an introduction to quantum mechanics. I went through it years ago and can still remember the main ideas thanks to the built-in spaced repetition.
It is remarkable how everybody only seems to comment on "spaced repetition" rather than anything involving quantum computing when they discuss that site.
Regardless, memorizing a few facts won't help with reasoning about "is quantum computing even possible".
