Notes on Quantum Country 🌱

  • Quantum computing relies on using quantum logic gates that take the form of unitary matrices.
    • Unitary matrix $U$ is where $U^{t} U = I$, where $U^{t}$ is the complex conjugate transpose of $U$ (transpose $U$ and then take the complex conjugate for every element)
    • Quantum bits are in a superposition of states, and when you measure the quantum bit you only get the output. So, if we can start with a either $ 0 \rangle$ or $ 1 \rangle$ and then do some of these unitary matrix transformations to get back a cubit as $ 0 \rangle$ or $ 1 \rangle$, then there is a probability of 0 or 1 for the value the cubit will take when it is observed. Therefore, there is no more ambiguity in what value the cubit will take.
