0 likes•72 views
Quantum computing relies on principles of quantum mechanics and uses quantum bits that can represent both 1s and 0s simultaneously. This allows vastly more information processing than classical bits. Key concepts include Schrodinger's equation, spin, and quantum entanglement where measuring one particle instantly affects another particle even at a distance. Potential applications include developing new drugs with less side effects, better weather prediction, and problems too complex for classical computers. However, regular computers will still be needed for most tasks that use linear equations rather than exploring all scenarios.

The document discusses the GRID Extra Dimensions Theory, which proposes that:
- Space and time are quantized into discrete units called quantum cells around the size of the Planck length.
- New non-local dimensions called the GRID exist between these quantum cells and are responsible for quantum phenomena like entanglement.
- These extra dimensions allow for instantaneous "spooky action at a distance" by enabling immediate signaling between quantum cells, bypassing the speed of light.

Quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena at microscopic scales, describing the wavelike and particle-like behavior of energy and matter. Erwin Schrödinger developed the wave equation and Schrödinger equation, which provide a mathematical description of quantum systems. Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan created an equivalent formulation of quantum mechanics called matrix mechanics, which is the basis of Dirac's bra-ket notation for the wave function.
Tachyon
This document discusses research being done by Robert Ehrlich on the possibility that neutrinos may be tachyons, or hypothetical particles that can travel faster than light. Ehrlich believes that neutrinos, specifically the electron neutrino, may have a mass that would be consistent with it being a tachyon. He summarizes 6 observations from particle physics, cosmology and cosmic ray data that are all consistent with the electron neutrino having the mass of a tachyon. Definitive proof could come from the Katrin experiment measuring tritium beta decay or from observing fine structure in supernova neutrino signals.

Particle in a Box problem Quantum Chemistry
1. The particle is confined to a one-dimensional box of length L, with potential energy V=0 inside the box and V=infinity outside.
2. The wave functions and energy levels of the particle are quantized. The wave functions are sinusoidal with n nodes, and the energy is proportional to n^2.
3. The energy levels are spaced further apart at higher n values, with the spacing between levels increasing as the box size decreases.
Quantum mechanics a brief
Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. Some key points of the quantum mechanics view are that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, their behavior is probabilistic rather than definite, and some properties like position and momentum cannot be known simultaneously with complete precision due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Quantum mechanics has successfully explained various phenomena that classical physics could not and led to important technologies like lasers, MRI machines, and semiconductor devices.
Schrodinger wave equation 3 D box
1) Bohr's atomic model proposed that electrons revolve around the nucleus in well-defined orbits. However, the uncertainty principle showed that the exact path of an electron cannot be known.
2) To address this, scientists developed quantum mechanics using the de Broglie wave equation. This incorporated the dual particle-wave nature of electrons.
3) The time-independent Schrodinger wave equation was formulated and solved for a particle in a 1D, 2D, or 3D "box" to calculate the particle's energy levels.
Introduction to quantum mechanics and schrodinger equation
Classical mechanics describes macroscopic objects while quantum mechanics describes microscopic objects due to limitations of classical theory.

String Theory History
String theory began in the 1920s with Kaluza-Klein theory which proposed that electromagnetism can arise from gravity in a theory with four space dimensions. In the 1970s, string theory was developed as a way to describe the quantum mechanics of oscillating strings. Supersymmetry was introduced in the 1970s and holds the promise of resolving problems in particle theory. In the 1980s, string theory combined with supersymmetry yielded an equal number of fermions and bosons, showing it can be fully supersymmetric. Major advances in the 1990s included the duality revolution and using string theory to provide a microscopic explanation of black hole entropy.
Quantum Theory
1) Max Planck introduced the idea of quanta in 1900 to explain blackbody radiation. However, the meaning and implications of quanta were not fully understood at first.
2) In 1905, Albert Einstein showed that light must be composed of discrete energy quanta (photons) based on his analysis of the photoelectric effect. However, this idea contradicted the wave theory of light.
3) Niels Bohr incorporated Planck's quanta and Einstein's light quanta into his 1913 model of the atom. Bohr's model explained the emission spectra of hydrogen by quantizing electron orbits and transitions between them. However, Bohr's model was still ad hoc and did not fully reconcile the wave and
Basic and fundamental of quantum mechanics (Theory)
Quantum mechanics arose in the early 20th century to explain experimental phenomena that classical mechanics could not, such as black body radiation and the photoelectric effect. The document discusses the origins and fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, including the dual wave-particle nature of matter and light, the uncertainty principle, and Schrodinger's formulation of quantum mechanics using wave functions and his time-independent equation. It explains that wave functions provide probabilistic information about finding particles in particular regions rather than definite trajectories, replacing Bohr's orbital model.
Max Planck's and his Major contributions in Quantum Mechanics
Max Planck was a German physicist born in 1858 who made pioneering contributions to quantum theory and is considered the founder of quantum mechanics. Some of his major accomplishments include deducing the relationship between energy and frequency of radiation, which led to his famous Planck's constant and Planck's radiation law. He also helped establish quantum theory and the need for quantum mechanics to describe phenomena at atomic and subatomic scales. Planck received numerous honors for his revolutionary work, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.

Strongly coupled field theories are difficult to analyze using traditional perturbation theory. The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a framework for studying strongly coupled field theories by relating them to a dual gravitational theory in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. In particular, type IIB string theory on AdS5 × S5 is dual to N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. This duality allows questions about correlations functions in the strongly coupled field theory to be addressed by calculating them from the dual gravitational description. Tests of the duality have found precise matching between symmetries and fields on both sides of the correspondence.

The document discusses the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and what can be learned from precise measurements of it. The CMB provides information to answer fundamental questions about the universe, such as what it is made of, how old it is, and how fast it is expanding. Recent experiments like the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) have made accurate measurements of the CMB temperature and polarization, revealing the density of ordinary and dark matter, supporting inflation, and constraining the number of neutrino species and particle properties. Upgraded instruments like ACTpol aim to further improve measurements and help address open questions in cosmology and particle physics.

CA_final_paper
This document summarizes the key differences between classical and quantum computing. Classical computing uses binary bits that are either 1 or 0, while quantum computing uses quantum bits (qubits) that can be 1, 0, or both at the same time due to quantum superposition. The document explains how qubits are based on properties of electrons and their spin, and how quantum gates manipulate qubit states. It discusses how quantum entanglement allows qubits to influence each other in a way that could solve complex problems more efficiently than classical computing. However, the document notes that quantum computing is still in development and some dispute claims about its current capabilities.

Quantum Computing
Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics phenomena like superposition, entanglement, and interference to perform computation. Quantum computers are improving at an exponential rate according to Neven's Law, doubling their processing power exponentially faster than classical computers. The basic unit of quantum information is the qubit, which can exist in superposition and represent a '1' and '0' simultaneously. This allows quantum computers to explore all computational paths at once, greatly increasing their processing speed over classical computers for certain problems.
Quantum computing seminar
Quantum computing uses quantum mechanical phenomena like superposition and entanglement to perform computation. Qubits, the quantum equivalent of classical bits, can exist in superposition and hold the values of 0 and 1 simultaneously. This allows quantum computers to solve complex problems much faster than classical computers. Quantum entanglement refers to the linking of properties between particles such that operations on one particle instantly impact the other, even over large distances. While quantum computers may solve certain problems faster, they will not replace classical computers which are better suited for other tasks.

This document provides a brief introduction and history of quantum mechanics. It discusses how quantum mechanics developed from Planck's hypothesis of quantized energy in 1900 to Schrodinger formulating the wave equation in 1926. The key developments include Einstein explaining the photoelectric effect in 1905, de Broglie proposing that particles are associated with waves in 1924, and Born correctly interpreting Schrodinger's wave as a probability amplitude in 1926.
Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is a new paradigm that utilizes quantum mechanics phenomena like superposition and entanglement. It has the potential to solve certain problems exponentially faster than classical computers by using qubits that can be in superposition of states. Some key applications are factoring, simulation, and optimization problems. However, building large-scale quantum computers faces challenges like preventing decoherence of qubits and developing error correction techniques. While still in development, quantum computing could revolutionize fields like encryption, communication, and material science in the future through a hybrid model combining classical and quantum processing.
Quantum computers
Quantum computers are still theoretical but could perform certain calculations much faster than classical computers. They use quantum bits that can exist in superposition and entanglement, allowing them to represent multiple states simultaneously. Current quantum computers have only manipulated a few qubits, but applications could include factoring large numbers and rapidly searching large databases. Significant challenges remain in developing practical quantum computers that can maintain quantum states long enough to perform useful computations.
Hacking Quantum Cryptography
Alice and Bob’s quest through the fascinating quantum mechanics world as a way to avoid archvilainess Eve eavesdropping. In 1994, Peter Shor showed that many of the cryptosystems used today can be broken using a quantum computer. This idea will be explained together with a short overview of qubit systems. Next, we will see how quantum computing gives rise to the possibility of quantum key distribution with unparalleled security. We will end with a brief discussion on post-quantum cryptography concepts.
An Introduction to Quantum computing
Quantum Computing: Fundamentals (Superposition, interference, entanglement), Applications(Materials, medical, teleportation, data modeling, finance), and Challenges(scalability, decoherence, fault tolerance ).
Quantum Information
The document discusses concepts in quantum mechanics including wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and quantum superposition. It argues that all possible physical universes are constructs of information resulting from internally consistent sets of mathematical forms. Space-time and the physical world are not fundamental but rather emerge from more basic informational structures described by quantum theory and relativity.
Quantum Computing Quantum Internet 2020_unit 1 By: Prof. Lili Saghafi
This document provides an introduction to quantum computing and the quantum internet. It begins by discussing the challenges of scaling up quantum computers from manipulating one qubit to many qubits. Some potential applications of quantum computers are also mentioned, such as simulating molecules and materials. The document then introduces the concept of the quantum internet, comparing it to the early stages of the classical internet in the 1960s. It discusses how a quantum node network could enable the transmission of qubits between nodes and the creation of entanglement across distances. Finally, some early history of the classical internet is reviewed, including the development of ARPANET in the late 1960s.
Quantum computing
This document provides an introduction to quantum computing. It discusses how quantum computers work using quantum bits (qubits) that can exist in superpositions of states unlike classical bits. Qubits can become entangled so that operations on one qubit affect others. Implementing qubits requires isolating quantum systems to avoid decoherence. Challenges include controlling decoherence, but research continues on algorithms, hardware, and bringing theoretical quantum computers to practical use. Quantum computers may solve problems intractable for classical computers.

String theory of particle physics
String theory proposes that fundamental particles are not point-like but are tiny vibrating strings. It aims to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity by incorporating gravity into a theory of everything at very small scales. String theory predicts that spacetime has 10 dimensions rather than the observed 4 dimensions, with the extra 6 dimensions being curled up too small to detect directly. While strings have never been observed, string theory remains a promising area of research as the only known way to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity.
Ieee lecture
Quantum computers represent a new paradigm of computing that uses quantum mechanics. They use quantum bits (qubits) that can exist in superpositions of states. This allows quantum algorithms to evaluate all possible solutions simultaneously. Several approaches have shown promise for building quantum computers using systems like trapped ions or quantum dots. However, many challenges remain regarding scale, errors, and meeting criteria like low decoherence. Researchers continue working to develop new algorithms and improve quantum information technologies.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

What is quantum computing?
- 2. Before we go over Quantum Computing, let’s go over some basics of Quantum Mechanics
- 3. What is Quantum Mechanics? Quantum computing relies on the principals of quantum mechanics Quantum Mechanics: study of the behavior of matter and light on the subatomic level. Term Created by Max Planck while studying the “Ultraviolet Catastrophe” His solution: Assume light is both a particle and a wave
- 5. De Broglie’s Wave hypothesis Matter has the properties of both wave and particles and the wavelengths are related to their linear momentum.
- 6. Schrödinger equation Erwin Schrödinger equation devised an equation to explain the de Broglie’s Wave Hypothesis, where: N= Size of the Orbital L= Shape of the Orbital M=Where the orbital is oriented in space
- 7. Schrödinger's cat Imagine that there is a cat trapped in a steel box, with a Geiger Counter linked to a bomb. There is radioactive material but the rate of decay is completely random. Once the radiation reaches a certain level, the cat will die. If the box is opened, the cat will die. There is no way to verify that the cat is alive, guaranteeing the cat’s demise, so you will have to assume that the cat is both alive and dead. This analogy illustrate a superposition, the idea that an object can exist in many states at once.
- 8. Spin Paul Dirac illustrates that there is a 4th number that defines quantum particles ms which denotes spin.
- 10. Qubits Non-classical computing uses the ability of particles to exist in multiple states at once. It uses quantum bits(Qubits) to store information. However, unlike classical bits, qubits can be either 0, 1, or they can be both a 0 and a 1 at the same time. This allows for vastly superior processing power in comparison to a classical computer because 1 qubit would be able to hold more information than a classical bit.
- 11. Quantum Entanglement If one particle spins in one direction, then the other particle will spin in the opposite direction. If we were to know everything about the particle, then the superposition would be lost. Quantum computing relies on this to work, if everything was known about both particles, then we would have a classical machine.
- 12. Applications of Quantum computing Discovering new Drug treatments Reduce damage caused to healthy cells by Chemotherapy Can help weathermen better predict the weather. However, regular computers will not be replaced because quantum computers run through every possible scenario whereas classical machines use linear equations for their calculations.
