How To Organize Content - Card Sorting School of Physics | Qcloud Welcome to Quantum in the Cloud. This is a project which aims to provide resources for anybody interested in quantum technologies. In particular those who want to have some practical experience of using and manipulating information using quantum computers. We believe that people find quantum physics difficult to grasp because it is not intuitive – quantum systems behave in ways that are not seen in our normal day to day lives. We can’t change quantum mechanics but we can at least try to change intuition. By using these resources we hope that phenomena like superposition and entanglement become real and tangible. We hope you enjoy learning about quantum phenomena and trying out different experiments on our simulator to create and exploit them. The quantum processor chip that we have developed is in our lab here in Bristol and we continue to work on it, so it is very much at the cutting edge of science.
