Genius: Richard Feynman And Modern Physics by GLEICK,JAMES (9780349105321) | The Hive network
This is a fantastic book for those interested in physics, but more importantly for those interested in change. It is the biography of Richard Feynman, the talented physicist, winner of the Nobel … Read more Prize and major contributor to our understanding of particle physics. The term ‘genius’ is often used cheaply, and although Feynman would have declined the description, having read this account it is difficult to argue that he was not fully deserving of the title.I first became aware of Richard Feynman through quotations credited to him, and was intrigued to find out more about the man behind the ideas. This book deals with his life and achievements and as much of this was directed at the hidden and mysterious world and mathematics that define the inner working of atoms, you might expect a difficult read. Have no fear.
Quantum computer
The Bloch sphere is a representation of a qubit , the fundamental building block of quantum computers. A quantum computer is a computation device that makes direct use of quantum mechanical phenomena , such as superposition and entanglement , to perform operations on data . Quantum computers are different from digital computers based on transistors . Whereas digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits ( bits ), quantum computation uses quantum properties to represent data and perform operations on these data. [ 1 ] A theoretical model is the quantum Turing machine , also known as the universal quantum computer. Quantum computers share theoretical similarities with non-deterministic and probabilistic computers .
