1. There are some days when I understand why the general public hates math. Today is one of those days. I did not understand a word of the reading in the book. The explanation given online mostly made since, but as soon as we started talking about Fourier transformations I was lost. Maybe it's the fact that I'm computer retarded and don't even understand how classical computing works. Let alone quantum computing. Sure hope this is one heck of a lecture or I'll be a lost cause on the homework.
2. That clock analogy was really interesting. What a clever way to describe the concept behind such a monstrously ugly mathematical result. However, I'm afraid it didn't really work on me. I still don't know what the heck is going on. I suppose it is cool, however, that there in theory a quantum computer can do things so quickly.
