📣 New "mnemonic essay" on quantum computation with @michael_nielsen 🚨

How can any procedure possibly search a list in O(√N) time? Find out here—and remember what you've learned almost effortlessly through our integrated spaced repetition system.

quantum.country/search
When people struggle to learn complex ideas like quantum search, how often is that—perhaps even invisibly—because they're not fully fluent in the prerequisite concepts? They might "know" the prereqs, but only with so much cognitive load / delay that they can't absorb more.
This second essay begins to play out that notion.

Our first essay (quantum.country/qcvc) introduced QC's basics. Many readers reviewed that essay's concepts 5+ times over the last few weeks; with that growing fluency, we hope they'll find quantum search more accessible.
