History
Einstein discovered this effect, opening up the door to quantum physics
What is the photoelectric effect
These charged particles are held in electric fields and utilized by companies such as Quantinuum
What are Trapped Ions?
This describes the amount of energy contained in a single photon
What is a "quantum" of energy?
Quantum theory relies on the wave-particle duality of this subatomic particle.
What is the electron?
This coding language, by IBM, is a great introduction to Quantum Computing
What is Qiskit
What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
These qubits make use of Josephson Junctions, which are circuits capable of quantum effects. Used by Google and IBM
What are superconducting qubits
States that Orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle
This equation: λ = h/(m*v), allows for the wave-particle duality of electrons.
What is the de Broglie equation?
Grover's Algorithm makes calls to this
What is an Oracle?
This physicist greatly contributed to neutron stars and quantum chemistry
Who is J. Robert Oppenheimer
These atoms are held in laser beams, optically driven, and freely moving in their orientation. Used by QuEra
The theory which consolidates the behavior of light traveling in straight lines at great speeds and undergoing diffraction and interference
What is Wave-Particle duality
Schrödinger developed this concept (designated by the Greek letter ψ, psi) to build on the wave properties of electrons.
What is the wavefunction?
Phase Estimation makes use of this subroutine
What is the (Inverse) Quantum Fourier Transform
Resolved the EPR paradox, which challenges entanglements ability to transmit information faster than the speed of light
This is the way we interface with superconducting circuits
What are Microwave Resonators
Every orbital in a sublevel gets one electron before any other orbital gets two electrons.
What is Hunds Rule
This maxim states that the precise energy and position of an electron CANNOT be known at the same time.
What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
What is Shor's Algorithm
This physicist won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance
Who is Isidor Rabi
These devices, made from Josephson Junctions sense magnetic fields to high precision
What are SQUIDs
(Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices)
Describes the filling order for sublevels in an atom, and is based on increasing energy.
What is the Aufbau Principle.
Quantum numbers and Schrödinger's wavefunction allows us to better understand the electrons in atoms by organizing them into these.
What are atomic orbitals?
This algorithm makes use of the adiabatic theory
What is QAOA/AQC
Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, Adiabatic Quantum Computing
