Some key specs:
- SoC:
- name: RP2040. Custom designed by Raspberry Pi Foundation, likely the first they make themselves rather than using a Broadcom chip. But the design still is closed source, likely wouldn't be easy to open source due to the usage of closed proprietary IP like the ARM
- dual core ARM Cortex-M0+
- frequency: 2 kHz to 133 MHz, 125 MHz by default
- memory: 264KB on-chip SRAM
- GPIO voltage: 3.3V
Experimental setup to observe radiation pressure in the laboratory.
Application of radiation pressure.

Era of quantum computing before we reach physical errors small enough to do perfect quantum error correction as demonstrated by the quantum threshold theorem.
TODO are there experiments, or just theoretical?
Show up in the solution of the quantum harmonic oscillator after separation of variables leading into the time-independent Schrödinger equation, much like solving partial differential equations with the Fourier series.
I.e.: they are both:
- solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger equation for the quantum harmonic oscillator
- a complete basis of that space
www.physics.udel.edu/~jim/PHYS424_17F/Class%20Notes/Class_5.pdf by James MacDonald shows it well.
And then we can prove the ladder properties easily.
The commutator appear in the middle of this analysis.

These seem very direct and not ultra advanced, good read.
There are unlisted articles, also show them or only show them.
