What is the license?

MIT

If only the apprenticeships to do them paid well enough. Perhaps a subsidy to maintain potentially forgotten crafts and skills.

Reading Craft land by James Fox, there are many skills we need but we can't seem to fund to maintain.

It's not specified how long the apprenticeships last or what qualifications you need.

But even the full-time job doesn't pay that well: $60K/year, after bonuses. And the company recently had layoffs and moved the plant an hour west, from North Adams, Mass., to Albany, New York. And you have to stand eight hours a day, and half of people drop out of the apprenticeship for whatever reason.

The fact is that an artistically skilled person in the Northeast could find better-paying, less physically taxing, and probably more stable work.

more absurdity: I aprenticed with old time masters in more than one trade, and have worked in and around many other trades, and have taken on aprentices(officialy) in trades that I am unpapered in, have requests from trade schools to take on more aprentices, but, BUT, I cant work officialy in those trades, because I am unpapered, and cant get insurance, without going to trade school, and doing an aprenticship first.

Potentially my only opportunity to say thank you for your efforts in creating your textbook, so thank you. It helped me get to the position I am today as an academic researcher in QC although I focus on Photonics.

This is where I hope EU do their magic

I didn't either but I have now realised yes it uses a lot of energy and yes it can be a total waste of energy, but if you are doing good with it, then it is worth the cost.

I have decided I can only use AI that has a benefit to society at all. Say lower energy use apps for eink devices.

It does! They also still have all their summer schools up that you can go through step by step. Although I must promote Strawberry fields as I believe photonic integrated systems really is the better option.

QC Researcher here!

1/ Digital and analog - where digital equals qubits and analog equals photonics, diamonds, or a range of other bit replacements.

2/ Qubits and gates are the building blocks and operations in digital. Photons, diamonds, electrons, and so on are the bits in analog, you can encode any of these with information in various ways.

3/Strawberry fields for analog qc, and IBM's qiskit for digital

I work on photonic integrated circuits and adapt them to remove the physical limitations on capacity, such as heat, and information loss.

Very nice and succinct points.

What are some good resources that you would recommend to study and understand the above?

Also do you think QC will ever become mainstream like classical computing?

I will check out your book as I had what I now believe to be trauma schizophrenic response (auditory and visually), and was diagnosed with unspecified schizophrenia in my late teens. I found that dealing with the trauma and dealing with what allows my brain to struggle helped solve things. Now in my mid 30's I am so used to dealing with it without medication it isn't an issue any more but I do have to do a few things every day to make sure I do not get to a place where things are possible.

I found computing and the internet to be the support network and escape network I needed but I could very easily see with a different personality how it could be the source of the issue. I work in engineering now, but i always focus on community projects such as supporting those with mental health challenges or those in prison which allows me to also stay focused on what my problems will always be.

I appreciate you saying something. As you'll read in the book, I've got a project going to primarily help myself, but to date it's been 100% open-source.

I haven't been able to be consistent enough to both pay the bills and volunteer and work on the open source, so I focus on the former.

Would you mind saying more about what you do every day? For me, I anchor myself for at least a set time; when I sit during that time, nothing can touch me and I can deconstruct symptoms to recover any deviation from baseline.

I have been using Fedora comfortably as my main os on a framework for the last 18 months and I have had no issues. I do just think for all that I do, lab work, coding, and gaming. I also run debian on mnt pocket reform and tbh I think it is OSes' like Linux that allow devices like that to exist. Windows and Mac just aren't options.

It is not a silly question at all, a companion book with working and answers makes perfect sense. Universities and academic institutions who create things like this were often very wary as they often reuse these questions in classes and alternate the same questions over a span of 5 years. As realistically to test a small module of a subject the actual amount of viable questions in that question pool is rather few.
