Revealing The Truth About Measuring A Quantum Bit
A glance at the measurement problem in quantum mechanics
In today’s post, we learn something about the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. You can read it on Medium.
This post is also part of my new book:
Hands-On Quantum Machine Learning With Python Volume 2: Combinatorial Optimization
Earlier this week, I published chapter 9 of this volume. In this chapter, we finally solved the “quantum lockdown” using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver.
In this problem, we aim to protect the superheroes of the Marvel Universe from the Coronavirus. Of course, I know you are all tired of the pandemic. But I am convinced that this time, it is more fun and a welcomed change.
Furthermore, in this new version of the book, I added another section to chapter 4: “Integer Linear Programming”. As it turns out, this classical way of solving optimization problems is also important when solving these problems on a quantum computer—at least when you use IBM’s Qiskit.
You can still join the Early Access Program of Hands-On Quantum Machine Learning With Python Volume 2: Combinatorial Optimization. More than 200 pages are already waiting for you!
Furthermore, if you haven’t yet claimed your copy of Volume 1, you can save 10% by buying the eBook bundle. It contains the complete Volume 1 and the Early Access of Volume 2.
