I\u2019ve been working in the video game industry since 2003, which is usually on the cutting edge of technology, so it\u2019s surprising that I had never heard about quantum computing until about three years ago \u2014 I don\u2019t know if I was ignoring it or if I simply wasn\u2019t exposed to it. Back in 2018, one of my coworkers who was already interested in quantum computing shared a few links to the IBM Quantum Experience, and explained that you could use a quantum computer online. I took a look and bookmarked it, but didn\u2019t actually try it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like.
