Bad Poetry

 Just some bad poetry:
---
On Covid:
eyes burning 
and not from crying
is this covid
help I'm dying
---
For my friends:
Ghana
Is a place
Meghana 
Has a face
---
Shellfish and cakes
Michelle fishes
And bakes

An incomplete poem:
(I'll treat anyone who comes up with the last two lines to a coffee)

My head is filled with stuff
Words are all just fluff
And they garble in my mouth
Yet I repeatedly spit them out
They go back into my brain
Through my ears and cause a drain
Now my mind is full of crap
And has thoughts my head can't wrap 
So this poem's come about 
On my fourth late night out

Sad

I never thought of a day 
When you'd be so far away 
I thought we connected 
So foolishly, I expected 
For you to be there 
Waiting for me

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 ...
