It is peaceful here, in this silence of my mind

As I listen to a soothing blue of Beethoven, his Sonata Di Luna, I recall those times I've allowed myself to slip into perhaps one of the quietest self I've ever been. Though the silence of my mind hinders the laughter of my crowd, there still is engrained a charm in that quiet, a charm which calls me back, again and again.
And hence I write, after long, for it is here that I feel the happiest.

It is very peaceful here, in this Silence of my mind
Where all I wonder, is all that's heard
And all my memories are the chirping of a bird
It is very peaceful here, in this Silence of my mind
Where all my reflections come without the wavy light
And then the dots connect, all to my delight
It is very peaceful here, in this Silence of my mind
Where boasts an open sky to the pacific sea
And amidst this I lay, my thoughts in blissful kind
It is very peaceful here, in this Silence of my mind
Where Bach observes and Strauss glows,
And Chopin smiles at the Music which flows
It is so peaceful here, in this Silence of my mind
Where I live a dream, so far and wide
It is so peaceful here, in this Silence of mine.

This blog post is meant for anyone who has never heard the word "Zettlekasten" or "Commonplace Notebook", and wants to get better at extracting and maintaining the information they consume.  We need four tools: · Something to write with and something to write on (pen and paper will do) · A reference management system (the best programs are free) · The slip-box (the best program is free) · An editor (whatever works best for you: very good ones are free) — Sönke Ahrens ...

How to: Quantum

As a continuation of the last post ( Newer Horizons Indeed ), this post will serve as a list of resources that are useful to study the basics of Quantum Computing, a few events that I personally enjoy tuning in to, and a general update about the Qiskit Summer School and the Qiskit Advocate Program. Resources for Learning These articles are a cornucopia of wonderful resources (such as  John Preskill's lecture notes ) on how to get started with Quantum Computing, developing a better understanding of Quantum Mechanics, as well as some resources for pre-undergrad (so mainly highschool-level) material for students to follow. Learning Quantum Computing Entry Points for Learning Quantum Computing The following resources are ones that I have used (before I'd come across the aforementioned articles, thanks to my mentor): Quantum Computing for the Very Curious  by Andy Matuschak and Michael Nielsen It's perhaps the most unconventional "textbook" I've ever used. It aims ...
