Hey HN,
We recently recorded a podcast (https://blog.ycombinator.com/scott-aaronson-on-computational-complexity-theory-and-quantum-computers/) where I discussed my research, AI, and advice for nerds in general or people who want careers in science.
We covered many but not all of the questions submitted over the internet so AMA!
Shtetl-Optimized's tagline is famously "Quantum computers would not solve hard search problems instantaneously by simply trying all the possible solutions at once". What phrase do you think should replace 'trying all the possible solutions at once' in the public conciousness as a succinct description of the mechanisms of a quantum computer? Or is this topic simply too complex to be distilled into a neat synopsis while retaining accuracy?
