What's up? Heard of quantum computers?
As a nineteen year old working at Microsoft hq in Sydney Australia, I immediately became familiar with the different names of languages that professional programmers were using, python, visual C, SQL, etc. my job was to sell them product support and screen their call. Kind of like the call screeners I talk to before speaking on American radio shows to Rita Cosby or Rudy Giuliani or whoever.
As a fourteen or so year old I spent a few weeks obsessed with writing computer programs on apple basic ms dos. As an eleven year old I spent a few months obsessed with complex first year university calculus and other complex mathematics that engineering students would typically study in first year college, fairly advanced mathematics. My work was neat and precise and well documented.
Thus having peaked at mathematics at age eleven before generally going backwards, plus realising the scope of Moore's law as outlined in Bill Gates book, the Road Ahead, at Microsoft as a nineteen year old, I showed little other interest in programming. I subsequently worked at IBM in 2008 for a period as a call screener again, thirteen years after the Microsoft job, this time taking calls from my compatriots in Spain, as contrary to taking calls from my compatriots in Australia at Microsoft.
It IS appealing to consider programming for quantum computers, however, and I've signed up for a simplistic course that prevents very simple, basic lessons, very easy to follow. They do mention fixed terms in the science occasionally so as a research on Wikipedia I am confronted again by very complex mathematical equations. These are to do with ranges. A range in mathematics is the total number of values you're dealing with. Say you define, let range equal fifty, there will be fifty integers evenly spaced apart by a value of one and consecutive. This could mean you're dealing with numbers from minus fourteen to thirty six. Or a million and one to a million and fifty one. It wouldn't be clearly defined, only that range equals fifty. This is a simplistic breakdown of my eleven year old mathematical mind, the knowledge I gathered, eg., ranges.
Now the mathematics looks quite complicated appertaining to quantum computing, consider;

In mathematics, a Hermitian matrix (or self-adjoint matrix) is a complex square matrix that is equal to its own conjugate transpose—that is, the element in the i-th row and j-th column is equal to the complex conjugate of the element in the j-th row and i-th column, for all indices i and j:
A
is Hermitian
⟺
a
i
j
=
a
j
i
¯
{\displaystyle A{\text{ is Hermitian}}\quad \iff \quad a_{ij}={\overline {a_{ji}}}}
or in matrix form:
A
is Hermitian
⟺
A
=
A
T
¯
.
{\displaystyle A{\text{ is Hermitian}}\quad \iff \quad A={\overline {A^{\mathsf {T}}}}.}
Hermitian matrices can be understood as the complex extension of real symmetric matrices.
If the conjugate transpose of a matrix
A
{\displaystyle A} is denoted by
A
H
,
{\displaystyle A^{\mathsf {H}},} then the Hermitian property can be written concisely as
A
is Hermitian
{\displaystyle A{\text{ is Hermitian}}\quad \iff \quad A=A^{\mathsf {H}}}
Hermitian matrices are named after Charles Hermite,[1] who demonstrated in 1855 that matrices of this form share a property with real symmetric matrices of always having real eigenvalues. Other, equivalent notations in common use are
{\displaystyle A^{\mathsf {H}}=A^{\dagger }=A^{\ast },} although in quantum mechanics,
A
∗
{\displaystyle A^{\ast }} typically means the complex conjugate only, and not the conjugate transpose.
Oh I enrolled for a while at community college in 2010 as a 34 year old in HTML programming however I did not make much progress there.
And I almost forgot: as the topic of vectors when studying waves as polarised or no, comes up. Where a two dimensional X,y plane has a perfect circle depicting a wave of equal amplitude as wavelength. The circle here depicts an atom and the four positions of the circle, basically we might call NESW. These points are plotted as X over Y. Say with simple values of one and zero. This absolutely brings to mind studying mathematics with the Spaniards in 1992..... My aunt's buddy Victoria ran an after school tutoring academy and I studied mathematical vectors as a function of general physics with her. It was difficult to systematize that knowledge then but in the context of simple quantum computing it makes sense.
So the vector pointing to north or up on the circle plane on the X/y plane is y=1, X=O.....
0
This is noted as 1
A diagonal (positive polarisation - these principles apply to light as through polarised sunglasses and, 3d spectacles) is noted as one over one (first one is x's value and second one is y's value)
A vector moving to the right 90 degrees is X is 1 and y is 0 and noted as: 1
0
Definitions and concepts.
Imaginary number 'i'
Planks constant: h
Energy: E
Frequency: f
Planks constant equation:
E=hf......
This seems to describe a relationship where energy is defined as a wave and the frequency it manifests at a given moment is defined by 'h' as planks constant. Therefore planks constant seems to be referring to the actual concept of a still moment where a wave is at a particular frequency. Energy travels in waves through solids and we treat it as spherical particles with a top or down spin. We consider it to be grounded or excited. As in psychology people have a baseline demeanour.
Schrodinger's equation is practically the same as the equation describing heat waves however it's multiplied out by the imaginary number 'i'. All the hard maths arising in the quantum computing course are now dealing with pi and i and a positive (right side) and negative (left side) polarisation of the X,y axis with values of 1 and 0. Also the concept of a ket has arisen. This is a notation method like musical notes notation.
