Ensemble Quantum Computing: definition, unitary properties and thermal averaging penalty
Artificial Production of a New Kind of Radio-Element by Frédéric Joliot and Irène Joliot-Curie by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Communications in Mathematical Physics 48, 119–130. The publisher author record gives G. Lindblad; no unverified expansion of the name is asserted here.
Original theorem on generators of completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups. The finite-dimensional Schrödinger-picture form in the concept article uses hbar=1 and gives an independently calculated dephasing example.
Official IBM Quantum mathematical gate documentation, inspected 2026-10-31. Basis order and software endianness are stated on individual pages; abstract gate actions in the wiki declare their control and target labels explicitly.
CXGate: controlled-X action and matrix
SwapGate: state exchange
CCXGate: Toffoli controls and target
HGate: computational and plus/minus bases
ControlledGate: control labels and conditional unitary
GraphState: mathematical construction by controlled-Z gates
SwapGate: state exchange

The High-Frequency Spectra of the Elements. Part II by Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Original paper scan: web.mit.edu/8.13/www/pdf_files/moseley-1913-high-freq-spectra-elements-part2.pdf
Publisher: doi.org/10.1080/14786440408635141
Philosophical Magazine 27(160), 703–713. Despite the hosting filename, Part II was published in 1914, distinct from the first 1913 paper. Cited for characteristic X-ray lines, atomic-number ordering and the spectral relation.
On the Structure of the Line-Spectra of the Chemical Elements by Johannes Rydberg by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Original paper: commons.princeton.edu/josephhenry/wp-content/uploads/sites/71/2021/01/Rydberg-1890.pdf
Philosophical Magazine 29, 331–337. The author explicitly works in wave numbers and organizes line-series regularities; pages 333–337 give the formula and comparisons. The argument precedes the later quantum energy-level interpretation.
Zur Deutung verwickelter Spektren, insbesondere der Elemente Scandium bis Nickel by Friedrich Hund by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Original Zeitschrift für Physik 33, 345–371. Cited for classification of complex atomic spectra and term structure. Archival author-offprint record: www01.sub.uni-goettingen.de/fileadmin/media/texte/spezialsammlungen/Nachl%C3%A4sse/Hund.pdf
Only bibliographic/abstract access was available in this bounded inspection; the biography distinguishes modern spin-language statements of the rules from the historical formulation.
Physical Review Letters 101, 121602 (2008), DOI 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.121602. Abstract: finite-group constraints on a proposed mixing pattern. The McGill author email matches www.physics.mcgill.ca/~lam/, which identifies C. S. (Harry) Lam; no name expansion inferred from initials.
Inferring the statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics from the classical limit by Kurt Gottfried by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Nature 405, 533–536 (2000), DOI 10.1038/35014500. Original hypothesis paper; abstract explicitly limits its argument to discrete variables, rather than claiming a complete derivation of quantum probabilities.
Zeitschrift für Physik 40, 322–326. Publisher summary states the transformation of the one-electron Schrödinger equation into hydrodynamic equations.
Proceedings of the Royal Society A 136, 709–727. Original paper, received 10 May 1932; cloud-chamber tracks and neutron-induced nitrogen disintegration.
The ranges of the alpha particles from various radioactive substances and a relation between range and period of transformation by Hans Geiger and John Mitchell Nuttall by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Philosophical Magazine 22, 613–621. Original range-versus-transformation-period study.
Zeemaneffekt und Multiplettstruktur der Spektrallinien by Ernst Back and Alfred Landé by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Springer. Author and contents record; Paschen-Back effect pp. 62–82, apparatus pp. 112–151.
Création optique d’une inégalité de population entre les sous-niveaux Zeeman de l’état fondamental des atomes by Jean Brossel and others by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Journal de Physique et Le Radium 13, 668–668. Publisher byline: Jean Brossel, Alfred Kastler and Jacques Winter. The record classifies the work under optical pumping and Zeeman sublevels.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
