Mission Statement on Rittenhouse’s Quantum Computing Blog

 

Welcome to RittenhouseRV Blogspot on Quantum Computing. If you are not familiar with who I am please check out my LinkedIn Profile.  I work at Alfred State College in the beautiful town of Alfred, New York.  I am an Instructional Support Associate and Adjunct Professor. I love my job.

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.

Russell V. Rittenhouse

  Hello My Blog Followers, I am sorry it has been a while.   It is the end of the semester and things are moving at a busy pace.   It is hard to buy out time to share information. I thought I would take some time and tell you what is coming down the road for the blogs and the information I present. The first is I am hoping to display some of the activities of my students from this semester: Microcomputer Systems and Network and Security Protocols. Microcomputer Systems is based on the CompTIA A+ information.   I have my students’ doing videos on the different subjects that we cover in that class. If I get their permission to publish, I will share that with my followers. The Network and Security Protocols consists of seventh semester Bachelor students and three Master level students.   All of them are going to be making videos on High-Speed networking.   Today’s technology is looking at making it standard to have at least ten gigs for data collecting...

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 ....
