How to Write a Quantum Algorithm on the Quantum Computer
At my level of being a theorist, and I've taught the very, very basics of quantum computing, what I would be doing is sort of the quantum computing equivalent of assembly language. You're not going to crack any RSA encryption or anything like that or solve the traveling salesman problem. But you can practice. And in fact, it's such a small number of qubits that because we understand quantum mechanics in the Schrodinger equation, you could easily run that quantum algorithm on a classical computer much faster than you can run it on the quantum computer.
