Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Introduction Quantum chess is a variant of the traditional game of chess that incorporates elements of quantum mechanics. In quantum chess, each piece on the board is represented by a quantum state, which can exist in multiple positions at the same time. This allows for…

Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Introduction A quantum internet is a hypothetical network that would use quantum mechanics to encode and transmit information. This would allow for the transmission of information with perfect security, as any attempt to intercept the information would cause it to be destroyed. Quantum Internet The…

Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Classical Mechanics Classical mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of macroscopic objects, such as cars, planets, and baseballs. It is based on the principles of Newtonian mechanics, which were first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century. Quantum…

Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Introduction What comes to your mind when someone asks you “what do you find mysterious?” Well, there are a million answers that one can think of. For example, you may find someone’s behavior or actions strange, you may think of the Bermuda Triangle, or those…

Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Introduction In the previous module, we discussed some of the most important concepts in Quantum Mechanics and how they are being utilized to design a functional Quantum Computer. In this module, we will discuss the basic architecture of a Quantum Computer. The architecture of a…

Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Introduction To recap, in the last module, we explored the inner workings of a Quantum Computer by mathematically defining the notion of a Quantum State. We introduced the mathematical notation used to define quantum states and, in the end, discussed the design and operating principles…

Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Introduction So far, we have discussed how Quantum Computing in contrast to Classical Computing. In this module and upcoming modules, we will start to discuss the inner workings of a Quantum Computer. In this module, we will discuss Quantum Processors Units or QPUs and their…

Preface – This post is part of the Quantum Computing series. Introduction In the previous module, we discussed classical computing in detail. In this module, we will discuss the key differences between classical and quantum computing. This is perhaps the last module before we dive deep into the nitty-gritty details of quantum computing. So, without further…
