Schroedinger's cat: Thinking in- and outside the box of quantum mechanics
#1about 3 minutes
Schrödinger's cat and the quantum measurement problem
The famous thought experiment illustrates quantum superposition and how the act of measurement collapses a system into a single definite state.
#2about 4 minutes
The three core principles of quantum computing
Quantum computers derive their power from superposition, entanglement, and wave-particle duality which enables interference.
#3about 3 minutes
Representing quantum states with math and gates
Quantum states are represented as vectors and manipulated using gates, which are described by matrices in linear algebra.
#4about 3 minutes
Exploring the IBM quantum computing platform
A hands-on demonstration shows how to build quantum circuits using gates on the IBM Quantum platform's composer.
#5about 3 minutes
An overview of quantum algorithm classes
Quantum algorithms are categorized by their purpose, such as improving computational speed or simulating natural quantum systems.
#6about 4 minutes
Simulating molecular energy with OpenFermion
A code walkthrough demonstrates how to use OpenFermion and Cirq to calculate the Hamiltonian and simulate an ammonia molecule.
#7about 2 minutes
Comparing different types of quantum hardware
An overview of the physical implementations of qubits, including ion traps, superconducting circuits, and photonic systems.
#8about 1 minute
Key players and platforms in quantum computing
