11 videos about quantum computing that Hacker News commenters keep pointing each other to, ranked by how many separate months they were recommended. Part of Mathematics & Theoretical CS.
HN recommends it as one of the most accessible yet accurate introductions to quantum computing, and part of a wider series that covers Shor's algorithm.
HN recommends it as a good overview of the NIST candidates and the state of post-quantum crypto.
HN commenters point to it as a clear, approachable explanation of Shor's algorithm and what quantum computers actually do.
HN recommends it as a clear, worked explanation of Shor's algorithm for building intuition.
HN recommends it as an oral history of the algorithm straight from its inventor.
HN points to it both as an approachable quantum computing intro and as an example of explaining one concept at multiple levels.
Recommended as a real-world case of Lisp in a cutting-edge industry, applied to quantum hardware.
Initially praised as a nicely done explainer, it is now more often cited as an example of overhyped quantum coverage.
HN mostly cites it as a reference for the Google/NASA/D-Wave partnership and as a basic intro to quantum computing's potential.
Mostly cited in critical or skeptical comments about Buterin, with a little admiration for the talk coming from a 19-year-old.
