Can a quantum physics autodidact educate others in quantum computing? I would say that the answer is both yes and no. Schrodinger and his cat would imply that you will only get the answer to that question after you’ve read my Quantum Edge newsletter. Subscribe for free at quantumedge.today/subscribe
