Outrage of Quantum Ethics.

The quantum mind or quantum consciousness[1] is a group of hypotheses which proposes that classical mechanics cannot explain consciousness. It posits that quantum mechanical phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, may play an important part in the brain's function and could form the basis for an explanation of consciousness.


Quantum Computing

Now, most people have heard that quantum computing is a revolutionary technology that leverages the bizarre characteristics of quantum mechanics to solve certain problems faster than regular computers can. Those problems range from the worlds of mathematics to retail business, and physics to finance. If we get quantum technology right, the benefits should lift the entire economy and enhance U.S. competitiveness. The promise of quantum computing was first recognized in the 1980s yet remains unfulfilled. Quantum computers are exceedingly difficult to engineer, build and program. As a result, they are crippled by errors in the form of noise, faults and loss of quantum coherence, which is crucial to their operation and yet falls apart before any nontrivial program has a chance to run to completion.

Transition states of Binary numbers

A qubit is a quantum system in which the Boolean states 0 and 1 are represented by a prescribed pair of normalised and mutually orthogonal quantum states labeled as {∣0⟩, ∣1⟩} Sch95. The two states form a `computational basis' and any other (pure) state of the qubit can be written as a superposition α∣0⟩ + β∣1⟩ for some α and β such that ∣α∣2 + ∣β∣2 = 1. A qubit is typically a microscopic system, such as an atom, a nuclear spin, or a polarised photon. A collection of n qubits is called a quantum register of size n. We shall assume that information is stored in the registers in binary form. For example, the number 6 is represented by a register in state ∣1⟩ ⊗ ∣1⟩ ⊗ ∣0⟩. In more compact notation: ∣a⟩ stands for the tensor product ∣an − 1⟩ ⊗ ∣an − 2⟩…∣a1⟩ ⊗ ∣a0⟩, where ai ∈ {0, 1}, and it represents a quantum register prepared with the value a = 20a0 + 21a1 + …2n − 1an − 1. There are 2n states of this kind, representing all binary strings of length n or numbers from 0 to 2n − 1, and they form a convenient computational basis. In the following a ∈ {0, 1}n (a is a binary string of length n) implies that ∣a⟩ belongs to the computational basis.

Teleportation

Teleportation, or the ability to transport a person or object instantly from one place to another, is a technology that could change the course of civilization and alter the destiny of nations. It is a common subject in science fiction literature, film, video games, and television.

Quantum teleportation is distinct from regular teleportation, as it does not transfer particles from one place to another, but rather transmits the information necessary to prepare a target system in the same quantum state as the source system. In many cases, such as normal matter at room temperature, the exact quantum state of a system is irrelevant for any practical purpose (because it fluctuates rapidly anyways, it “decoheres”), and the necessary information to recreate the system is classical. In those cases, quantum teleportation may be replaced by the simple transmission of classical information, such as radio communication. In 1993, Bennett et al[10] proposed that a quantum state of a particle could be teleported to another distant particle, but the two particles do not move at all. This is called state teleportation. There are a lot of following theoretical and experimental papers published.[11][12][13] Researchers believe that quantum teleportation is the foundation of quantum calculation and quantum communication.[citation needed]

Big Data Analysis

Big data analytics is the often complex process of examining large and varied data sets -- or big data -- to uncover information including hidden patterns, unknown correlations, market trends and customer preferences that can help organizations make informed business decisions.
On a broad scale, data analytics technologies and techniques provide a means to analyze data sets and draw conclusions about them to help organizations make informed business decisions. BI queries answer basic questions about business operations and performance.
