What is quantum physics? All the things about quantum physics.

Now a day father of technology is quantum.
Quantum computer is faster than super computer. Quantum mechanics will the future of technology. It will develop more efficiency system.
               
What is quantum physics in the most layman terms?

Suppose you are driving a car, and I ask you how fast you are going. You might say something like, "My speed is 50 kilometers per hour". That is because speed is a quantity that we associate with numbers. Then, I might ask you "Where are you?" Your response might be "I am in Singapore," which is more accurately described as being at latitude 1.290270 and longitude 103.851959. Again, we associate the position with numbers. The position and speed of an object are examples of what physicists refer to as observables: things that can be measured directly.

For hundreds of years, up until about 1900, physicists constructed predictive models of nature on the assumption that observables were simply numbers, that can be determined absolutely at any instant by a sufficiently accurate measurement. And by knowing the right combination of observables at that instant, we can plug them into some equations to predict what those observables will be in the future. This worked very well for most systems of interest though the 19th century. However, as we started studying smaller and smaller systems, we found some peculiar behavior. Namely, the observables of sub-atomic systems seemed to be randomized. Even if you knew the values of the right combination of observables at some point in time, the predictions given by classical (pre-quantum) physics were often completely wrong at very small scales. Moreover, it was soon realized that there was no way to fix classical physics to make it more accurate. It was simply doomed and our understanding of nature and observables needed a complete overhaul.

The key realization that forms the cornerstone of modern quantum physics is that, at the most fundamental level, observables, like position and speed, are not numbers. They are operators. An operator is a mathematical construct that transforms one object into another. For analogy, your car mechanic is like an operator: he/she turns (broken down) cars into (fixed) cars. The key point is that an operator acts on something. So, if observables are operators, what do they act on? They act on an object called the wavefunction, which contains all of the information about the physical state of that system. The really strange thing is that when we make a measurement of an observable, we do not see the operator; for some reason we do no have direct access to this - all we get is a random number. The likeliness or probability of obtaining a particular number from a measurement of an observable is determined by the wavefunction.

And so, quantum physics is entirely based on the relationship between the wavefunction and the observable operators. Fortunately, the wavefunction itself is deterministic. If you know the wavefunction at any point in time, you can calculate what the wavefunction will be at any point in the future. Thus, despite the apparent randomness of the numerical quantities that we associate with observables, the probability of obtaining a particular number from a measurement can be predicted with great accuracy. This is the focus of modern physics.

Realme 3 Pro vs Redmi Note 7 Pro Camera Comparison: And the Winner is?

With a profoundly aggressive price tag, Realme 3 Pro made its  official debut  in India just earlier this week to take on the smartphone, which is better known as the budget king – Redmi Note 7 Pro. The cameras are important for when you make a buying decision and while Xiaomi has banked on the hype around 48MP sensors to court buyers for its latest budget offering, Realme has resorted to borrowing the camera sensor from its sister company’s flagship smartphone – the OnePlus 6T. So, let’s not waste any more time and answer the one question which might have been bugging you. How does the Sony IMX519 sensor on Realme 3 Pro compare to the Sony IMX586 on Redmi Note 7 Pro? Realme 3 Pro vs Redmi Note 7 Pro: Specs Before we check out the camera samples and see how they compare, here’s a quick peek at the camera specifications for both the smartphones. The Redmi Note 7 Pro, as most of you, would already know brings along  a primary 48MP (f/1.7) rear sensor (the Sony I...

Some basic and necessary information about c language you don't know

C is a general-purpose, high-level language that was originally developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX operating system at Bell Labs. C was originally first implemented on the DEC PDP-11 computer in 1972. In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie produced the first publicly available description of C, now known as the K&R standard. The UNIX operating system, the C compiler, and essentially all UNIX applications programs have been written in C. The C has now become a widely used professional language for various reasons. Easy to learn Structured language It produces efficient programs. It can handle low-level activities. It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms. Facts about C C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX. C is a successor of B language which was introduced around 1970 The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI). The UNIX OS was totally written in C by 1973.
