Posted on /adv/ like the sticky says and it dropped off the board with no replies. I need people who have degrees in Maths and Physics to help me here.
I'm a 2nd year uni student who wants to know all about Quantum Computing.
However, I must be selective in my modules such that I have to choose whether to approach Quantum Computing from the (Pure) Mathematical or Physical side (whilst still taking computing courses to remain employable).
My question is, who understands the Quantum Stuff better? Mathematicians or Physicists? Especially concerned with the intersections with computer science.
I'm interested in topology, manifolds, spaces etc on the mathematics side but couldn't care less about number theory, and I'm interested in waves and quantum mechanics on the physics side but couldn't give less of a shit about thermodynamics, starshit, condensed matter. I am loath to take the 'mathematics for physicists' modules.
Which side should I approach from to have the best understanding of Quantum Mechanics, given I'm interested in spaces and topology but mostly want to come as close as possible to rigorously understanding QM?
