  2. Qubit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit

    The general definition of a qubit as the quantum state of a two-level quantum system.In quantum computing, a qubit (/ ˈ k juː b ɪ t /) or quantum bit is a basic unit of quantum information—the quantum version of the classic binary bit physically realized with a two-state device.

    See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.

    Without loss of generality, one can work with the standard circuit model, in which the set of gates are single-qubit unitary transformations and controlled NOT gates on pairs of qubits, and all measurements are in the computational basis. [21]: 93 [47]

  5. Planck units - Wikipedia

    Stoney chose his units so that G, c, and the electron charge e would be numerically equal to 1. [4] In 1899, one year before the advent of quantum theory, Max Planck introduced what became later known as the Planck constant. [5] [6] At the end of the paper, he proposed the base units that were later named in his honor.

  6. Gram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram

    The gram (originally gramme; [1] SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.. Originally defined as of 1795 as "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm 3], and at the temperature of melting ice", [2] the defining temperature (≈0 °C) was later changed to 4 ...

    The kayser (K) is a unit of wavenumber equal to 1 cm1 (100 m −1). The gal (Gal) is a unit of acceleration equal to 1 cm/s 2. [3] The dyne (dyn) is a unit of force equal to 1 g⋅cm⋅s −2 (10 μN). [3] The barye (Ba) is a unit of pressure equal to 1 dyn⋅cm −2 (100 mPa). The erg (erg) is a unit of energy equal to 1 dyn⋅cm (100 nJ). [3]

    For example, according to the capacitance row of the table, if a capacitor has a capacitance of 1 F in SI, then it has a capacitance of (10 −9 c 2) cm in ESU; but it is incorrect to replace "1 F" with "(10 −9 c 2) cm" within an equation or formula. (This warning is a special aspect of electromagnetism units.

  9. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    Usually, the relationship between mass and weight on Earth is highly proportional; objects that are a hundred times more massive than a one-liter bottle of soda almost always weigh a hundred times more—approximately 1,000 newtons, which is the weight one would expect on Earth from an object with a mass slightly greater than 100 kilograms.
