If you’re starting from zero, here’s the correct way to build quant knowledge: 1. Learn how to do quant interview questions Quant interviews don’t just test how much math you know, they test how you think under uncertainty. You’re judged on structuring unfamiliar problems, making assumptions, spotting symmetry, and explaining your reasoning live. Past a point, question reps matter more than theory. If you don’t train this explicitly, everything else leaks. 2. Build mathematical intuition, not trivia You don’t need olympiad maths. You do need comfort with probability, expectation, conditioning, and optimisation under uncertainty. Focus on why results hold, not memorising tricks. If you can explain assumptions, you’re ahead of 90% of candidates. 3. Learn programming as a modelling tool Python isn’t for syntax points. It’s for turning ideas into experiments. Simulate distributions. Stress-test assumptions. Break your own logic. If your code can’t falsify your thinking, it’s not useful. 4. Study market structure before “strategies” Most beginners jump straight to alpha ideas. That’s a mistake. Understand how markets actually function: liquidity, order flow, transaction costs, latency, constraints. Strategy without structure is fantasy. 5. Build projects that answer real questions Not “I implemented X indicator.” Instead: “What happens to performance when assumptions fail?” “What regime does this break in?” Projects should reveal limits, not hide them.

5 minutes. Ton ordi : 10 septillions d’années. L’informatique quantique est là. En décembre 2024, le processeur quantique Willow de Google a résolu un calcul en 5 minutes que les meilleurs supercalculateurs classiques mettraient 10 septillions d’années à terminer plus long que l’âge de l’univers. La superposition quantique permet à un qubit d’exister dans plusieurs états simultanément, offrant une puissance de calcul exponentiellement supérieure aux ordinateurs binaires traditionnels. Les applications concrètes arrivent : simulation moléculaire pour concevoir des médicaments, cryptographie post-quantique, optimisation des réseaux énergétiques mondiaux. #informatiquequantique #calculquantique #googlequantum #qubits #physiquequantique

The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics In 1957, Hugh Everett III proposed a radical new way of dealing with some of the more perplexing aspects of quantum mechanics. It became known as the Many-Worlds Interpretation. According to this interpretation, whenever numerous viable possibilities exist, the world splits into many worlds, one world for each different possibility (in this context, the term “worlds” refers to what most people call “universes”). In each of these worlds, everything is identical, except for that one different choice; from that point on, they develop independently, and no communication is possible between them, so the people living in those worlds (and splitting along with them) may have no idea that this is going on. In this way, the world branches endlessly. What is “the present” to us, lies in the pasts of an uncountably huge number of different futures. Everything that canhappen, does, somewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation #trendingreel #paralleluniverse #quantumphysics #foryou #science

The market didn’t just move. Your returns probably didn’t match it. This week’s price action looks straightforward on the surface… but most investors experienced something very different. Here’s why: Markets are measured using time-weighted returns (TWR) → isolates pure portfolio performance → removes the impact of cash flows Investors experience money-weighted returns (MWR / IRR) → incorporates when capital was added or withdrawn → heavily influenced by timing decisions Same market. Different return. If you added capital after the rally → you underperformed If you pulled capital before the move → you missed it This is the hidden layer in every market recap: TWR tells you what the market did MWR tells you what you actually earned Most underperformance isn’t about bad stock selection. It’s about capital timing. If you’re serious about portfolio construction, you need to separate strategy from behavior.
