Researcher in quantum information --- involving algebras over finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, graphs and combinatorics, and vector spaces over ℤ/pℤ.
I habitually edit and re-edit anything I write, as long as I have the time, interest, and ability. I should probably apologize for this tendency, but you will probably have to be satisfied with being warned about it instead.

How much Bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar would I need to reach space? I think you're going to run into the "Tyranny of the rocket equation" pretty hard here with a 'fuel' having such little thrust. |

Von Neumann Entropy: varying definitions +1. To push the point home: the difference amounts to measuring distances in either meters, or feet. The scalar factor doesn't have any impact on anything that matters, and really just amounts to a choice of units. |

Does quantum computing rely on particular interpretations of quantum mechanics? These are not interpretations, but rather extensions/variations of quantum mechanics (in that they specify additional details which change the predicted outcome). |

Quantum gate: Phase shift Omar: if you note that the magnitudes of $\cos(30^\circ)$ and $\cos(-15^\circ)$ are different from one another, you can see that the only diagonal matrices which could yield the required transformation are ones where the entries have modulus different from $1$. Such matrices aren't unitary, and so in particular they are not valid phase gates. Because the magnitude of the components differ, a more general rotation matrix is required. |

Help on controlled quantum gates? Two qubit states are 4x1 (four rows, one column). |

Help on controlled quantum gates? Do you have a better idea of what it is that you're looking for, now? |

Help on controlled quantum gates? What sort of phase-changing gate are you asking about? Can you give a description for how it would act on standard basis states? |
