Sometimes i feel like there are more people debunking the "quantum revolution" than people who actually believe it.

Yes there are some charlatans trying to sell quantum bullshit, but for the most part this is debunking a myth that doesn't exist.

Sometimes I feel that I should think of 98% of funded research as slop, and get on with life.

But (boring) engineering research, most of math, and (some academic) CS publications seem much less sloppy, I'll give you that

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2843975_A_Partial_O... is v interesting, but only goes to 7, so it lacks a 10.5.1?
Ah sorry

chapter 10 of similar title from the book https://extras.springer.com/?query=978-3-642-12820-2

pp491 is the autobio

(I'd thought for a moment it'd be more prudent to offer the proceeds from UK-based web-intrigue than Russian ;)

Love the autobio.

Noise and the differential reminds me of Hartmanis & Stearns, Algebraic Structure Theory of Sequential Machines (1966), in that the latter roughly studied how our knowledge of what state an automaton is in diffuses over repeated transitions.

Queued
For quantum computing the real bullshit comes from private companies like D-wave and IBM.
That's even more likely to be funded research :)

Sorry there should be an "ear-marked" somewhere
