  2. Quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_number

    In the era of the old quantum theory, starting from Max Planck's proposal of quanta in his model of blackbody radiation (1900) and Albert Einstein's adaptation of the concept to explain the photoelectric effect (1905), and until Erwin Schrödinger published his eigenfunction equation in 1926, [1] the concept behind quantum numbers developed based on atomic spectroscopy and theories from ...

  3. Azimuthal quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_quantum_number

    For a given value of the principal quantum number n, the possible values of ℓ range from 0 to n − 1; therefore, the n = 1 shell only possesses an s subshell and can only take 2 electrons, the n = 2 shell possesses an s and a p subshell and can take 8 electrons overall, the n = 3 shell possesses s, p, and d subshells and has a maximum of 18 ...

  4. Principal quantum number - Wikipedia

    K (n = 1), L (n = 2), M (n = 3), etc. based on the principal quantum number. The principal quantum number is related to the radial quantum number, n r , by: n = n r + ℓ + 1 {\displaystyle n=n_{r}+\ell +1} where ℓ is the azimuthal quantum number and n r is equal to the number of nodes in the radial wavefunction.

  5. Quantum error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

    A generalisation of the technique used by Steane, to develop the 7-qubit code from the classical [7, 4] Hamming code, led to the construction of an important class of codes called the CSS codes, named for their inventors: Robert Calderbank, Peter Shor and Andrew Steane. According to the quantum Hamming bound, encoding a single logical qubit and ...

    The triangle-finding problem is the problem of determining whether a given graph contains a triangle (a clique of size 3). The best-known lower bound for quantum algorithms is Ω ( N ) {\displaystyle \Omega (N)} , but the best algorithm known requires O( N 1.297 ) queries, [ 31 ] an improvement over the previous best O( N 1.3 ) queries.

    in other words, that the state of the particle is a weighted superposition of momenta between 0 and +1/6 and positions between −1 and +3. On the other hand, the propositions " p and q " and " p and r " each assert tighter restrictions on simultaneous values of position and momentum than are allowed by the uncertainty principle (they each have ...

  8. Quantum programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_programming

    Quantum programming is the process of designing or assembling sequences of instructions, called quantum circuits, using gates, switches, and operators to manipulate a quantum system for a desired outcome or results of a given experiment.

  9. Good quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_quantum_number

    In quantum mechanics, the eigenvalue of an observable is said to be a good quantum number if the observable is a constant of motion.In other words, the quantum number is good if the corresponding observable commutes with the Hamiltonian.
