The key experiment/phenomena that sets the basis for photonic quantum computing is the two photon interference experiment.
The physical representation of the information encoding is very easy to understand:
- input: we choose to put or not photons into certain wires or no
- interaction: two wires pass very nearby at some point, and photons travelling on either of them can jump to the other one and interact with the other photons
- output: the probabilities that photos photons will go out through one wire or another

Source. This is a good introduction to a photonic quantum computer. Highly recommended.- youtube.com/watch?v=7wCBkAQYBZA&t=1285 shows an experimental curve for a two photon interference experiment by Hong, Ou, Mandel (1987)
- youtube.com/watch?v=7wCBkAQYBZA&t=1440 shows a KLM CNOT gate
- youtube.com/watch?v=7wCBkAQYBZA&t=2831 discusses the quantum error correction scheme for photonic QC based on the idea of the "Raussendorf unit cell"
TODO experimental discovery.
Force carrier of quantum chromodynamics, like the photon is the force carrier of quantum electrodynamics.
One big difference is that it carrier itself color charge.
Can be thought as being produced from gluon-gluon lines of the Feynman diagrams of quantum chromodynamics. This is in contrast to quantum electrodynamics, in which there are no photon-photon vertices, because the photon does not have charge unlike gluons.
How many stupid bugs. How many stupid bugs do we need to face???

requirements.txtis thepackage-lock.json. But how to generate it cleanly? You would need to create a virtualenv? pip searchwas disabled in 2020: stackoverflow.com/questions/17373473/how-do-i-search-for-an-available-python-package-using-pip. WTF. If server load is a problem, just create a token system! It is hard to understand how such a popular language can't raise enough money to keep such simple server functionality running.
The best package ever is: pypi.org/project/china-dictatorship/ see also: cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship/mirrors
Used for example:
- by Monero to hide the input of a transaction
- anonymous electronic voting
Based on the fact that we don't have a P algorithm for the discrete logarithm of the cyclic group as of 2020, but we do have an efficient algorithm for modular exponentiation. But nor do we have proof that one does not exist! Living on the edge as usual for public-key cryptography.
