Continuing on with the CERN video lecture series, this post covers the third lecture in their series.

Qubits in an entangled state allow for qubits to be sent (from Alice to Bob) even if we don't know what the qubit's state is and there is no quantum channel available (quantum teleportati

Continuing on with the CERN video lecture series, this post covers the second lecture in their series.

Another way of representing a qubit is by using the Bloch sphere (where qubit states of fully 0 or fully 1 are on opposite poles akin to the north and south poles), which opens the poten

I've been interested in quantum topics since I read a section dedicated to quantum cryptography in Simon Singh's book The Code Book. That's a book I read fairly recently, but quantum as a field is not something I deal with on a regular basis, so I was keen to hear about CERN putting on a number of virtual lectures relating to quantum computing in Novembe
