Quantum tunnelling
Quantum tunnelling (or
tunneling) is the
quantum-mechanical effect of
transitioning through a
classically-forbidden energy
state. Consider rolling a
ball up a hill. If the ball
is not given enough

Quantum computer
A quantum computer is any
device for computation that
makes direct use of
distinctively quantum
mechanical phenomena, such
as superposition and
entanglement, to perform
operations on data. In a

Quantum entanglement
Quantum entanglement is a
quantum mechanical
phenomenon in which the
quantum states of two or
more objects have to be
described with reference to
each other, even though the
individual objects may be

Computing
Originally, the word
computing was synonymous
with counting and
calculating, and a science
that deals with the original
sense of computing
mathematical calculations. ... > full story
