I am a physicist and truly appreciate the effect of quantum computing on our simulations, but with “real world” I meant proper industrial use. And for that, there are hardly any algorithms known except Shor’s. When the CEO of Deutsche Bank says he will do his bank transactions on a quantum computer, you know the topic is over-hyped.
I understand that you can’t just translate random algorithms to quantum computers and expect them to run better - but I did link an overview of 5 quantum algorithms that have real world uses, and Shor’s is only one of them.
I don’t consider Sabine Hossenfelder a person worth listening to. She frequently comments on topics she doesn’t know much about/has a very biased view of (e.g. her transphobic video).
I’m talking about her video on transitions in general, not sure if you’re referring to that or something else. She misrepresented the state of research (implying there’s less research concluding transitions to be a good thing than there really is) and shared misinformation.
I don’t think I was talking about this, interesting. Because in the video I mentioned she was fine with trans athletes competing together with cis athletes, which seemed very progressive to me. But I’m happy to be proven wrong.
Sorry, but that’s completely wrong. There has been a lot of research into quantum algorithms, and we have many examples besides Shor’s algorithm, for example: https://www.amarchenkova.com/posts/5-quantum-algorithms-that-could-change-the-world

Edit: A video that explains this by a theoretical physicist working on the foundations of quantum mechanics

Are you talking about her video on trans athletes? I don’t remember it being transphobic.

I was talking about “Is being trans a social fad among teenagers?”.
