Chapter 19 – Quantum Computing
- Beyond the hype, no quantum computer exists. (Yes | No)
No. False. You can already run a quantum computer on IBM Q's cloud platform: https://www.research.ibm.com/ibm-q/.
The following screenshot is the result of one of the real quantum computer (IBM) calculations I ran on a quantum score explained in the chapter:
Figure A.1: IBM quantum computer calculation
- A quantum computer can store data. (Yes | No)
No. Instability prevents any form of storage at this point.
- The effect of quantum gates on qubits can be viewed with the Bloch sphere. (Yes | No)
Yes. A Bloch sphere will display the state of a qubit.
- A mind that thinks with past experiences, images, words, and other bits of everyday information, like stored memories, will find deeper solutions to problems that mathematics alone cannot solve. (Yes | No)
There is no single generally accepted...
