- #Superposition --> Possibilities over certainties --> A light switch is a dimmer with theoretically infinite number of settings - #Entanglement --> Connectivity --> Manipulating one dimmer affects all the others in the room - #Interference / Parallelism --> Concurrency when calculating all possible outcomes & settling on a potentially / probabilistically correct answer through constructive interference #Coherence is time when qubits are stable The ratio of physical qubits (required for control and correction) to the qubits doing the actual work #Adoption for each application will depend on the degree of the advantage conferred by quantum processing and the maturity of the algorithms directing the problem solving. --- Quantum is **non-deterministic computing** If I have an [[uncertainty]] when reading a value, I need to see what outcome has the highest frequency of coming out.. You will not get the same result each time you run it Classic is mutually exclusive computing Classically - n bits hold 1 value: 0 --> (2^n-1) Quantum - n qubits hold 2^n values - Adding a qubit doubles computational power #firstprinciple #quantum
