Various in-universe sources describe quantum torpedoes as roughly double the destructive power of standard photon torpedoes, putting their yield somewhere in excess of 100 megatons of TNT. Four of the USS Enterprise-E's quantum torpedoes destroyed an unshielded Borg sphere.
The photon having non-zero linear momentum, one could imagine that it has a non-vanishing rest mass m 0, which is its mass at zero speed. However, we will now show that this is not the case: m 0 = 0. Since the photon propagates with the speed of light, special relativity is called for. The relativistic expressions for energy and momentum ...
A photon (from Ancient Greek φῶς, φωτός (phôs, phōtós) ' light ') is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.
The book Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual describes the operating principle of the so-called quantum torpedo. In this fictional weapon, an antimatter reaction is used to create a multi-dimensional membrane in a vacuum that releases at its decomposition more energy than was needed to produce it.
The quantum computer created by Chuu’s team is able to encode information in 32-dimensions, or time bins, within a single photon, breaking the world record. Chuu likened photons with a 32-dimensional storage capacity to transforming a single-seat bicycle into a 32-seat bicycle.
Emission and absorption: one of the most basic building blocks of quantum field theory, is the notion that particles (such as electrons) can emit and absorb other particles (such as photons). Thus, an electron may just "split" into an electron plus a photon, with a certain probability (which is roughly the coupling constant). This is described ...
A graph showing variation of quantum efficiency with wavelength of a CCD chip from Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, formerly installed on the Hubble Space Telescope.. The term quantum efficiency (QE) may apply to incident photon to converted electron (IPCE) ratio [1] of a photosensitive device, or it may refer to the TMR effect of a magnetic tunnel junction.
Microsoft began working on quantum computers in the late 1990s, attempting to build quantum systems capable of reliably scaling up. This reliability is critical because qubits are inherently unstable.
