    I have been trying to make sense of the recent proposed quantum algorithm for Learning-With-Errors, and what it means in practice. To do so I have created a document where I put my thoughts. Some may disagree with these thoughts, some may agree.... nigelsmart.github.io/LWE.html

    I am a clever mathematician and/or physicist. My subject is hard. I can use this hardness to come up with a cool new cryptosystem. Read relevant undergraduate literature about crypto first? Dont be silly, I am a clever mathematician and/or physicist.
