Just reading the title of this post gave me a most perverse hearty laugh. I strongly applaud the deranged motherfucker who decided that implementing a quantum computer in SQL was worth the effort. Next up: D-Wave emulator in COBOL.


For a certain set of problems, solving them in pure SQL, with all it's limitations, allows me to focus on the problem without all the cruft. Just pure logic.

I think more people should try it.
