Quantum mechanics does not work in the way we expect it to so games are an excellent way to bring entire collectives on board to thinking in a truly quantum way - some examples are Quantum chess, Quantum go-fish, and more found [here](obsidian://open?vault=Obsidian&file=Quantum%20Vault%2FQuantum%20Realm%2FTechnologies%2C%20Orgs%2C%20%26%20Apps%2FApplications%2FGames!!%2FFinally%20the%20fun%20part) --- # Quantum Internet A cryptographic application to send information through. - The idea of Quantum Networking is closely related to this - Quantum Routing [Repo](https://github.com/sshi27/QuantumRouting) - Concurrent Entanglement Routing for Quantum Networks [concept paper](https://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~qian/papers/QuantumRouting.pdf) - Deploy quantum applications securely - Universally Blind Quantum Computation - set of cryptographic protocols that allow a user to run a quantum computation on a processor that they do not trust at all, and still guaranteed perfect privacy even from person operating the processor. Key application of quantum internet. - Really matters about data crossing boorders due to geographic restrictions as discussed in this [video from Horizon Quantum Computing ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40SnYksUYvA) --- > [!NOTE] Quantum machine learning is one of the biggest pillars of quantum computing application that we will see in the workforce of the future > [[Machine Learning (QML)]] # Quantum Metrology In which special tools are being created to observe quantum effects --- # Quantum Optimizations often using QAOA --- # Quantum Simulations Whole systems are [simulated](obsidian://open?vault=Obsidian&file=Quantum%20Vault%2FQuantum%20Realm%2FTechnologies%2C%20Orgs%2C%20%26%20Apps%2FApplications%2FSimulations) without need for data or equations of mathematics by altering the options/probabilities of systems themselves.

Every computation incurs a correction which must be applied to all that follow and needs real-time information to comply with the algorithm. The researchers used a unique combination of quantum memory and photons to achieve this. # Weather - of course, the whole thing I was doing with Katelyn was indeed the weeather project - Yet no papers have been out [arguing](https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/104/2/BAMS-D-22-0031.1.xml) otherwise - though there are always [calculations](https://www.azoquantum.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=98) - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12033-023-00863-3 - [quantum reservoir](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-71673-9) for time series prediction - [space encryption ](https://www.livescience.com/technology/communications/future-quantum-computers-will-be-no-match-for-space-encryption-that-uses-light-to-beam-data-around-with-the-1st-satellite-launching-in-2025) using light to beam information around in satellites - [Eco-hydrology lab at Uconn](http://www.jamesknightonhydrology.com/) for plant soil # Sensors - This [Paper](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331951379_Sensor_Placement_Algorithm_with_Range_Constraints_for_Precision_Farming) on Sensor Placement Algorithm with Range Constraints for Precision Farming - - [GeV as an atomic optical antenna ](https://quantumconsortium.org/quantum-showcase/?utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--09x19AmJRt9XrS81_u1t_I3pCUsxXQhbOqaI7zbwKHcCuSTXLmpNgrgjsgr8XqTNz3znUvLKuZ3oWrkFKZqK5sz6bVw&_hsmi=322769429&utm_content=322354543&utm_source=hs_email) ![[Pasted image 20240907234016.png]] - a fun quantum experiment with Polarizers Using the concept of measurement can you explain WHY this is happening with light? - we can think of this as a superposition - when we do this one photon at a time that is when it becomes quantum - actually using polarization - state and superposition - wave particle duality - whenit is one photon at a time - when a photon passes through a poal - hidden variables are not real! - conservation of momentum argument example given in a high school teach quantum book in china: - a woman got pregnant - she moved away - she gave birth her status changed to becoming a mother - but the status of the father would also automatically change to becoming a father why is quantum wierdness important: - combo of 1 and 0 - quantum computing - exchange info without measuring bc itll always spit out 0 or 1 - the weight functions - most everyday - optimization polarizrs, simulators - quantum states are very sensitive - 20 qubits can store over a 1 million times info of a classical it - LIGO - 4 km arms - louisiana and ashington state - looking for the arms to change - an interference pattern occurs ^ - you want to know which direction it comes rom - magnetic fields - electric fields - temperature - squeezed light - theyve detected black holes - improving MRI resolution - temperature inside cells - nitrogen vacancy centers - they have - sensing for chips that shouldnt be there - quantum cryptography - - post quantum cryptography is a non-quantum solution - classical way to protect against quantum computers - quantum cryptography - you know immediately if they are it changes the measurement of that state
