Isothermal means "at fixed temperature".

This is to contrast with the more well established polymerase chain reaction, which requires heating and cooling the sample several times.

The obvious advantage of isothermal methods is that their machinery can be simpler and cheaper, and the process can happen faster, since you don't have to do through heating and cooling cycles.

But in particular, we want to describe those subtheories in a way that we can reach arbitrary precision of the full theory if desired.

This was the pre-Internet precursor of wikis. This program was likely venerable, shame it predates Ciro Santilli's era.

But the thing was much more bloated it seems, and also included visual programming elements, and WYSISYG UI creation.

square, cube. 4D case known as tesseract.

Convex hull of all $\{-1,1{\}}^D$ (Cartesian product power) D-tuples, e.g. in 3D:

From this we see that there are $2^D$ vertices.

Two vertices are linked iff they differ by a single number. So each vertex has D neighbors.

Ciro Santilli distinctly remembers being taught that at basic electrical engineering school during Ciro Santilli's undergrad studies at the University of São Paulo.

It really allows you to do alternating current calculations much as you'd do DC calculations with resistors, quite poweful. It must have been all the rage in the 1950s.

TODO what's the largest molecule done on a classical computer?

Small splits present in all levels due to interaction between the electron spin and the nuclear spin if it is present, i.e. the nucleus has an even number of nucleons.

As the name suggests, this energy split is very small, since the influence of the nucleus spin on the electron spin is relatively small compared to other fine structure.

TODO confirm: does it need quantum electrodynamics or is the Dirac equation enough?

The most important examples:

Company co-founded by Scott Hassan, early Google programmer at Stanford University, and Carl Victor Page, Jr., Larry Page's older brother.

They were an email list management website, and became Yahoo! Groups after the acquisition.

The company was sold to Yahoo! in August 2000 for $432m and became Yahoo! Groups. They managed to miraculously dodge the Dot-com bubble, which mostly poppet in 2021. After the acquisition, Yahoo started to redirect them to: groups.yahoo.com as can be seen on the Wayback Machine: web.archive.org/web/20000401000000*/egroups.com The first archive of groups.yahoo.com is from February 2001: web.archive.org/web/20010202055100/http://groups.yahoo.com/ and it unsurprisingly looks basically exactly like eGroups.

This section is about the male/female trait.

For the act, see: sex.

This was the first major commercial computer hit. Stlil vacuum tube-based.

Most notable example: gallium arsenide, see also: gallium arsenide vs silicon.

An important class of semiconductors, e.g. there is a dedicated III-V lab at: École Polytechnique: www.3-5lab.fr/contactus.php

Ice is the name of one of the solid phases of water.

In informal contexts, it usually refers to the phase of ice observed in atmospheric pressure, Ice I_h.

CEO: Jeremy O'Brien

Raised 215M in 2020: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-06/quantum-computing-startup-raises-215-million-for-faster-device

Good talk by CEO before starting the company which gives insight on what they are very likely doing: Video "Jeremy O'Brien: "Quantum Technologies" by GoogleTechTalks (2014)"

PsiQuantum appears to be particularly secretive, even more than other startups in the field.

They want to reuse classical semiconductor fabrication technologies, notably they have close ties to GlobalFoundries.

So he went to the US and raised N times more from the American military-industrial complex.

The term "IBM Q" has been used in some promotional material as of 2020, e.g.: www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/topic/0TO50000000227pGAA/ibm-q-quantum-computing?language=en_US though the fuller form "IBM Quantum Computing" is somewhat more widely used.

They also internally named an division as "IBM Q": sg.news.yahoo.com/ibm-thinks-ready-turn-quantum-050100574.html
