What is Schrödinger's cat? - Part 2

Following part 1, the high school students explains what ket and bra are. In describing Schrödinger's cat, the concept of partial trace is then explained in part 2.

What are quantum computers food for?

Prof. Harry Buhrman explains the problem suitable for quantum computers. He develops the concepts of "Queasy instance" to study problems which classical computers feel queasy and struggle to solve, but quantum computers find to be easy.

Portfolio Optimization as a QUBO Problem

In this video, we explain how to apply Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) method in finance. In particular, we explore portfolio optimization using QUBO formalism.

Quantum-Accelerated Monte-Carlo Methods

In this video, Asst. Prof. Patrick Rebentrost reviews classical Monte-Carlo methods and show that quantum computers provide speed-up over the classical sampler.

Overview of Quantum Computational Finance

In this video, Asst. Prof. Patrick Rebentrost summarizes some of the directions that have been explored in quantum computational finance.

What is quantum optics?

Quantum optics deals with the interaction of light and matter at the microscopic scale. In this video, Prof. Mølmer gives an overview of quantum optics and also how we try to control and steer these systems towards potential applications.

Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

In this video, Prof. Klaus Mølmer talks about Copenhagen view of quantum mechanical wave function, pilot wave and the many-worlds interpretation.

What is Schrödinger's cat? - Part 1

When discussing superposition of macroscopic objects, the phrase "Schrödinger's cat" is almost always mentioned. In this video made by high school students, we explain some of the misconceptions about it.

The Importance of Science Outreach Activities

In this video, Prof. Klaus Mølmer shares with us his views on why science outreach activities are important.

Overview of Noise Reduction Strategies in Quantum Computing

What are the general noise reduction strategies in quantum computing? In this video, we give a brief overview of the various techniques used.

Mathematics of the Nonlocal Game - On Bell's Paradox

Liked our video about the non-local game where two kids are challenged by the teacher going to the candy shop and stationery shop? Watch this video to learn more.

What is QIBO?

QIBO is an open-source middleware for quantum computing. In this video, we briefly explain the main features of QIBO.

What is quantum middleware?

Quantum middleware provides the linkage between quantum hardware and the algorithms.

Are there quantum jumps?

It seems that from the Schrödinger's equations of motion, the wavefunction follows a differential equation which predicts no jumps. So are there quantum jumps?

From thermal phase transition to quantum phase transition

In this video, we review thermal phase transition and explain how quantum phase transition comes about.

The Group Theory Argument - On Bell's Paradox

In this video, we explain the Bell's paradox from group theory.

Travelling Salesman Problem

What is the shortest possible route that visits each city exactly once and returns to the origin city?

Hardy's Paradox in 4 mins

Through Hardy's paradox - a thought experiment - we see how quantum outcomes cannot be predicted using classical logic.

SI units & Quantum Mechanics

Since 2019, SI units have been defined using quantum mechanics. Let us find out how it is done.
