Odarve A quantum computer is device for computation that uses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to perform operations on data. Because of the quantum mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition of states, quantum computers have great offers in the field of computations and data handling. The ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1727/a-controlled-not-quantum-logic-gate/ Patrick Alvin M. Alcantara Einstein maintained that quantum mechanics entails “spooky actions at a distance” (the interaction of two objects which are separated in space with no known mediator of the interaction); experiments have now shown that what bothered Einstein is not a debatable point but the observed behavior of the ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1711/reality-and-quantum-theory/ Hananish Joy G. Odarve Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was born on 8th August, 1902, at Bristol, England. He was educated at the Merchant Venturer's Secondary School, Bristol, and then went on to Bristol University where he studied and obtained B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering degree. He also studied mathematics for two years ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1700/on-paul-dirac%e2%80%99s-theory-of-electrons-and-positrons/ Liza Marie T. Dangkulos This article contains a summary of Max Born’s Nobel lecture entitled, "The statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics". In 1926, shortly after the formulation of the Schrodinger’s equation, Max Born studied the scattering of a beam of electrons and was led to his interpretation of the wave function in ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1664/max-born%e2%80%99s-statistical-interpretation/ John Paul J. Aseniero Computers today are now fundamental part of people’s lives. It is used in a lot of applications such as in business, communication, security systems, sciences and etc. Developing fast classical computer has come to its fundamental limitation and aiming this type of computer would rely on ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1652/chip-based-quantum-computer-using-trap-technique/ Rommel J. Jagus Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was one of the great contributors of quantum mechanics. He was an Austrian-born Swiss physicist and a Nobel laureate. He was born in Vienna Austria – Hungary on April 25 of year 1900. In 1918, he finished his early education in Vienna. He received his ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1617/exclusion-principle-of-wolfgang-ernst-pauli/ Marichu M. Tompong-Miscala Local realism is the idea that an object has definite properties or assumes a definite state without being affected by the act of measurement [1]. This belief is especially contrary to the probabilistic ( not deterministic ) characteristic of quantum mechanics. In 1965, John S. Bell had proposed a ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1591/bells-inequality-a-distinction-between-local-reality-and-quantum-mechanics-theory/ Sandra L. Manulat "Schrodinger's cat paradox is a classical illustration of the conflict between the existence of quantum superpositions and our real-world experience of observation and measurement"[1]. The Principle of Superposition of States in quantum mechanics has become strikingly successful at describing physical phenomena at the atomic scale.  Quantum superposition requires ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1570/a-schrodinger-cat-superposition/ Normie Jean B. Sajor Quantum mechanics is one of the most functional theories in the world of physics.  It describes the workings of particles, atoms, and molecules with extraordinary accuracy and also explains the action of lasers and transistors. Yet, the debate about the relation of quantum mechanics to the familiar ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1534/decoherence-and-the-transition-from-quantum-to-classical/ Catherine Therese J. Quiñones For many years, computers have doubled in power every year or so, as what Moore's law predicts. This means that transistors are getting smaller and smaller and will eventually approach the size of an atom. However, in the atomic regime, the physics is completely different from what ... http://www.quantumsciencephilippines.com/1530/advances-in-quantum-computing/
