Appendix C: Quantum Mechanicus Notes
These notes are intended for the advanced reader. They contain spoilers for those who have not completed the Quantum Mechanicus Certification Program.
Quantum Mechanics for the Uninitiated
- Wave-Particle Duality: Don't ask us, just accept it.
- Superposition: It's not just a state of mind.
- Entanglement: When two particles get too close, things get weird.
Quantum Computation: Because Bits Matter
Quantum computers are not just for the faint of heart. They require precision and patience.
Here are some notes on quantum computation:
- Qubits: The quantum bits that make it all work.
- Superposition in computation: Don't try this at home.
- Quantum error correction: When things go wrong.
Quantum Cryptography: For when you really need to keep a secret
Quantum cryptography: because regular cryptography isn't secure enough for you.
Here are some notes on quantum cryptography:
- Key exchange: When the key is not just a key.
- Quantum key distribution: Because you can't just use email.
- Quantum signatures: When you really need to sign a document.
Quantum Mechanics for the Ambitious
Because you thought you could handle it.
Here are some notes on advanced quantum mechanics:
- Many-worlds interpretation: Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds.
- Causal loop theory: Don't even get us started.
- Quantum gravity: When gravity just isn't that interesting.
