The Strangest Man

Book Review: This is a biography of Paul Dirac.

TODO: Add book image.

Backstory: I first studied Quantum Physics at McGill University. All the courses used Schroedinger equations as the framework. In grad school at MIT, the Quantum 3 course I TA’ed was Feynman diagram based. Little to no exposure to the Dirac notation in coursework (but I do own and have read Dirac’s QM text book).

Recently, I got interested in Quantum Computing. All the articles on Quantum Computing use Dirac’s “bra”-“ket” notation. I re-read Dirac’s QM textbook and picked up this biography.


TODO: Need to add the actual book review.

Obviously “on the spectrum”.
