Quantum Algorithm Zoo (opens in new tab)

Surprising to me is seeing that some of the papers cited here were published in the mid-90s. That's 5 or 10 years before when I would've guessed.

Makes me think of Ada Lovelace and how awesome the mind can be when grappling with the abstract (though I'm sure non-quantum computers were still some help here to researchers for fiddling with quantum algorithms).

There are a couple of those that might be relevant to work I am doing. Just wondering what the horizon should be for someone to dive into QC. The engineering doesn't seem to be anywhere near where a mid-sized company can buy or rent access to a reasonably sized machine any time soon (thinking about timescale next 10 years or so). Super interesting thou.
