Today’s quantum ecosystem is extremely vibrant, and there is a lot of energy and focus on particular questions

One very, very interesting thing about quantum computation is that it touches so many different fields in mathematics

Previous papers, and in particular Hastings’ first papers on topological obstructions, manage to show that stoquastic adiabatic computation is capable of understanding something about the global structure of a problem.

It’s not like that in classical computation. It’s really something that is special for quantum computation because it’s somehow ‘complete’ — quantum computation is some kind of completion, mathematically, of classical computation.
