Abstract
Perhaps it’s not emphasised often enough that many of the intricacies in the quantum description of the world has to do with the fact that we can add and multiply particles, or any collection of objects for that matter, thereby providing a modern perspective on the ancient dictum that ‘all is number’. In this lecture, I will discuss these two mysterious operations and, as a bonus, why the precise relation between them is the crux of the efficiency of quantum computing.
