Quantum Mechanics Applied to Quantum Computing - Quantum Algorithms Quantum Algorithms Many problems are impossible to solve on a classical computer, not because they are insoluble, but because of the astronomical resources required to solve realistic cases of the problems. The promise of [read more]
Quantum Mechanics Applied to Quantum Computers Mathematical representation A superposition state is often represented as a linear combination of different basis states: |ψ〉 = α |0⟩ + β |1⟩ where α and β are complex numbers, and |0⟩ and |1⟩ represent the two possible [read more]
