Can't help but feel there are going to be Unanticipated Consequences for making 'magic' a term in an actual science.
About damn time computer scientists invented magic
- It's always been magic, from the moment we convinced lightning to live inside rocks and do math for us. Every line of code: an incantation. Every monitor: a new orb to ponder.
  Quantum computers are just deeper magicks than we have had before.

  🤯
  
  Our greatest wizards and sorcerers are finally exploring the primordial majicks
Wish I knew Qiskit better. I bet it is quite an elucidating framework to work with. I mean, how else would you find this out without trying Quantum Mechanics on classical computers?
