Welcome!

In order for me to continue teaching, I pursued a master’s degree. I chose to get that master’s degree in education and technology. During that journey to obtain the degree, I did a whole semester of research into Quantum Computing. During that research, I became convinced that Quantum Technology is in all our futures. It is closer than you think.

Since my concentration is in education and I was teaching basic networking, I went on to think what it would take to teach quantum computing. During my Networking 1 class I would teach binary, the basics of today’s computing technology. Then I saw that Quantum Technology is based on Quantum Mechanics and I then panicked thinking where do I start? I am not even sure I understand it.

This blog is dedicated to education on Quantum Computing and Quantum Technology. This blog is going to always be a work in progress. If you want to keep up with all the events in Quantum technology, please check back periodically. To the left you will find Blog feeds that will update. I will also have material to show that Quantum is already here and what is going to be involved. I will try my best to have all the recent events posted, reviewed, and linked for you to check it out yourself.

Thank you for visiting and I will leave the blog on for you.

  As one of the youtubers my family follows would say, “Hello all you beautiful people.”  I know it has been a while since I posted. I am hoping you came back and was happy to find that I posted something.   I am following my day job and I am finishing getting set up for this semester's classes that I am teaching. I was going to wait till I could do a deep dive on one of the Quantum Computing topics. I believe that might be too long till I can do that.    Microsoft Bing came to the rescue. I opened “Edge” to get started on the day’s work and there was an article on Quantum Computing. An article that proves my point, that our current group of students, no matter what level, will be the ones bringing Quantum Computing to all of our lives one way or another.   Check the article by clicking here Will quantum computing emerge as a disruptive in the near future? Discover Quantum Computing investment opportunities.      In short, the article...

Debrief of the 2023 STEM Summer Institute

  This was the week I presented at the 2023 STEM Summer Institute on Quantum Computing.  On both days of the conference the attendance fluctuated between 35 to 100 people in attendance. In my humble opinion, the conference was still suffering COVID side effects.  I am sure the next time we meet in 2024 the attendance will be higher.   When Tuesday morning, August 1, 2023, came around I had six people, two photographers and myself. I thought this was great. I knew we would have the ability to discuss Quantum Computing thoroughly. Especially since we had many academic areas represented: administration, teaching standard influencers, and other educational technicians from k-12 and college.   I opened the presentation introducing myself and in good education fashion we went around the room to build community. I then went into what is Quantum Computing   using my blog instead of a PowerPoint for presentation material.  I showed my picture gallery ....

RittenhouseRV First Quantum Blog Post

  R ittenhouseRV's  Blog It seems fitting for my first post, for my Quantum Computing blog, to discuss the two types of Quantum Computers. The reason it seems fitting is that when I decided to use Quantum Computing for my master's degree thesis was the fact that the company D-Wave was selling quantum computing since the turn of the 20th century. I knew that their computer was an annealing type of quantum computing. All I understood at that time was it had to do with superconducting chips. It turns out that we are in the Beta and VHS phase of development when it comes to quantum computing. What do I mean?  Anyone that lived through that time would understand. At the dawn of the video cassette age there were two types of video tapes, Beta Max and VHS. In time everyone used just VHS. Meanwhile my family now had two copies of everything. So, in the quantum age, we have annealing and gateway type of quantum computers. D-Wave has been selling quantum-annealing co...
