This is an important metric, because it takes some time for the quantum operations to propagate, and so the depth of a circuit gives you an idea of how long the coherence time a hardware needs to support a given circuit.

It appears that Maxwell's equations can be derived directly from Coulomb's law + special relativity:
This idea is suggested by the charged particle moving at the same speed of electrons thought experiment, which indicates that magnetism is just a consenquence of special relativity.

Source. A bobblehead is a type of collectible doll or figurine characterized by a oversized head that is attached to a spring or a flexible joint, allowing the head to bobble or nod when moved or shaken. Typically, bobbleheads are designed to resemble specific characters, celebrities, athletes, or even fictional characters.
Name origin: likely because it "determines" if a matrix is invertible or not, as a matrix is invertible iff determinant is not zero.

The term "China doll" can refer to a couple of different things, depending on the context: 1. **Porcelain Doll**: A "China doll" is often a type of doll made from porcelain or china, characterized by its delicate features, painted facial expressions, and sometimes intricate clothing. These dolls have been popular collectibles, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They are known for their fragile nature and often depict various historical or cultural themes.

A composition doll is a type of doll that is made from a composite material, typically a blend of wood pulp, sawdust, and other organic materials, which are then mixed with a binding agent and molded into shape. This type of doll was popular during the early to mid-20th century, especially from the 1900s to the 1950s. Composition dolls were often less expensive than porcelain dolls and were lighter, making them more appealing to children.

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.
