associative
Last edited: August 8, 2025associative means that operations can be grouped in any way as long as order is preserved.
That is:
\begin{equation} (AB)C = A(BC) \end{equation}
asymtotic analysis
Last edited: August 8, 2025Intuition:
- \(O\): \(\leq\)
- \(\theta\): \(=\)
- \(\Omega\): \(\geq\)
Definitions:
- \(f(n) = O(g(n)) \implies \exists n_{0}: \forall n > n_0, f(n) \leq c (g(n))\)
- \(f(n) = \Omega(g(n)) \implies \exists n_{0}: \forall n > n_0, f(n) \geq c (g(n))\)
- \(f(n) = \theta(g(n)) \implies \exists n_{0}: \forall n > n_0, f(n) \geq 1 (g(n)), f(n) \leq c (g(n))\)
~
Given functions \(f(n)\) and \(g(n)\), if:
\begin{equation} \lim_{n\to \infty} \left(\frac{f(n)}{g(n)}\right) = 1 \end{equation}
we say that \(f \sim g\).
atoms as qubits
Last edited: August 8, 2025You can use atoms as many different types of qubits.
manipulating physical qubits
To make physical qubits go to different states, we will again use something in the ancillary states. Rotating it to \(z\) — leverage one lazer to make it fall; \(rx\), \(ry\), we leverage combinations of two light.
various qubit implementations
Implementations of physical qubits
| Type | Superconductor | Ions | Atoms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company | Google, IBM, Rigetti | IonQ, Honeywell | Atom Computing, QuEra |
| Nature | Artifical | Natural | Natural |
| Calibration | Individual calibration | Naturally calibrated | Naturally calibrated |
| Coherence Time | Short | Long | Long |
| Connectivity | Adjacent connectivity | All-to-all | More than adjacent |
| Scalability | Compatible with existing tech | Not easily scalable | Potentially scalable |
| Speed | Fast gates | Kinda fast | Untested |
