What is Quantum Computing?

 In simple terms: 

Quantum Computing is using Atoms for your RAM in the computer.  This presentation is to get us started about getting our students familiar with this concept.  They will be the ones setting this up and using it, in my opinion, in the very near future.


Term When talking about Quantum Computers


Superposition

Quantum Entanglement

qubit

Quantum gates

teleportation

Quantum algorithms




Rittenhouse's Logic





Companies Involved with Quantum

  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...

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 f...

The weekend is here.  The next academic year is about ready to start.  I am constructing and planning two classes so it is “time to make the doughnuts”.  (If you are unfamiliar with the reference, click here for YouTube video ) I am going to make this brief and to the point.  The push to bring Quantum Technology to the colleges has already started.  I will provide the link and you can do your own research.  The one that hits closest to home is RPI.   RPI (Rensselaer PolyTechnic Institute) now has a Quantum Computer on campus provided by IBM . Other Schools: University of Waterloo University Article from Microsoft talking about University of Washington . M.I.T and Quantum Computing Caltech Thank you for being patient as the school season is starting. Please come again.   “I will leave the Blog on for you”
