via Kevin Hartnett, writing for Simon's Foundation Quanta Magazine, notes - An 18 year old man from Texas (in the fall, Ewin will attend the University of Washington graduate program in Computer Science) has obsoleted the so-called quantum 'recommendation problem'. Eighteen year old Ewin Tang has published a paper entitled 'A Quantum-Inspired Classical Algorithm for Recommendation Systems' detailing the problems obsolescence (and is today's selection for a Must Read recommendation).

Well Done, Mr. Tang, Well Done.
