As someone who runs a quantum computing software company, I can confirm your intuition. Almost everyone we hire to work on quantum computing directly has a PhD.
There have been a few edits to my answer since I originally posted it. The original version had a bit at the top about it being against the spirit of the question but intended to amuse. It's not a practical solution at…
I have only ever answered one question on SO, and this was it. I used to be pretty active on some of the other sites (cstheory and the old theoretical physics stack exchange) but this answer got enough attention that I…
Oh, cool! In my defence, I can only say that I believe my answer predates this.
It's complicated by the fact that ICMP packets do not necessarily arrive in order.
Quantum processors don't have the same gate sets as are used in conventional computers, since they can be in superpositions rather than in just the 0 and 1 state. Instead of NAND gates, a universal set of quantum gates…
