Quantum
Matter
Symmetry Looking the same from different points of view (e.g. a face, cube, laws of physics);
symmetry breaking is phase transition
Topology Geometric structure preserved under deformation (bending, stretching, twisting, and
crumpling, but not cutting or gluing); doughnut and coffee cup both have a hole
Quantum
Computing
Superposition An unobserved particle exists in all possible states simultaneously, but once measured,
collapses to just one state (superpositioned data modeling of all possible states)
Entanglement Particles connected such that their states are related, even when separated by distance
(a “tails-up/tails-down” relationship; one particle in one state, other in the other)
Interference Waves reinforcing or canceling each other out (cohering or decohering)

What is Quantum Computing?
 Computing: change of state between 0/1
 Move information around & and perform a computation
 Quantum: use atoms, ions, photons to compute
 Classical computing: serial not parallel
 Quantum computing: treat more than one status at the
same time, compute all transactions simultaneously
 Fundamentally, a different way of computing
 Degreed physicists sought as product managers (Gartner)

Superconducting Qubit
 Implement by sending current through a small ring
 Create “1” and “0” states as current circulating
clockwise and counterclockwise in the
superconducting loop
 The smallest amount of flux that can be in the loop
corresponds to either +Φ0/2 and - Φ0/2, where Φ0 = ћ/2e
is the magnetic flux quantum
 The two states represent the “0” and “1” values of a
classical bit or the two basis states of a qubit |0> and |1>
 Potential energy wells
 System tunnels back and forth between |0> and |1>
 Can also occupy a superposition state of |0> and |1>
with current simultaneously circulating both clockwise
and counterclockwise

Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-
Changing Brain, Eagleman, 2020
More than simple
neural plasticity, the
brain is “livewired” to
constantly absorb
changes by interacting
with its environment
Neocortex learns a model of the
world and constantly updates it;
no centralized control mechanism;
cortical columns make predictions;
aggregate neuron strength wins

Question what we think we
know. Conversations are
for being open-minded not
for convincing. Be humble,
curious, and open
Think Again, Grant, 2021
Human intelligence is based on
abductive inference which is not
fully understood; it cannot be
reduced to induction or deduction,
or encoded and programed, hence
at present, computers cannot be
trained to think as humans
