For as long as there have been markets, there have been investors trying to get an edge in them, and quantum computing is the latest shiny tool that is being touted, but can it work?Meaghan Carter couldn’t put a finger on what was ailing her fourteen-year-old daughter Peggy. A cheerful, happy child, Peggy had blossomed into a “tweenager” yet had never manifested any of the predictable maladies that that age was supposed to have ushered in.But of late, Carter noticed that her typically bubbly and sociable daughter was turning petulant, and was concerned about cyberbullying or other things that could be happening to her at school.Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, Carter, who enjoyed an extremely close relationship with her eldest child, broached the topic in the gentlest way possible.Fortunately, Peggy’s problems weren’t social or psychological, they were physiological,“I don’t know Mom, it’s nothing at school.
