Episode notes
Quantum Entanglement
- Quantum entanglement allows faster-than-light information transfer, but it's unusable.
- Einstein was partially correct: usable information cannot exceed light speed, unlike unusable information.
Wave-Particle Duality
- Subatomic particles are particles, not waves.
- The probability of finding a particle at a given point is given by a wave function.
Quantum Computer Languages
- Quantum computer languages exist and are accessible for experimentation.
- Google and IBM offer online access to primitive quantum computers, allowing users to explore basic quantum programming.
