Description

Nathan sometimes feels a bit lonely.

Luckily, he has a quantum computer in his basement, and he has designed a brilliant quantum friendship algorithm to help him make friends. With some colleagues over for a dinner party, he has left the algorithm running downstairs. He just hopes it converges before his guests have to leave. And that it runs without disturbance from magnetic field fluctuations, thermal instability, or feelings of anxiety.

As pieces of quantum information, we will rotate through parallel possibilities for friendship, finding moments of conversation and connection, or distrust and destructive interference. If noise does not destroy our coherence, we can help Nathan ask a question that seems so quantumly complicated, yet always collapses into one of two possible outcomes.

Will you be my friend?
