An unlikely combination of events inspired this column: learning Chinese and binge-watching MIT lectures on quantum mechanics.
Somewhere between wrestling tones in Mandarin and Hilbert spaces in quantum physics, it struck me: These two pursuits have something in common with enterprise data.
They’re all about meaning, context, and the stubborn refusal of reality to fit neatly into our categories.
Welcome to a two-part series on what data leaders can learn from quantum information theory (QIT).
