The study was funded through two National Burg also plans to expand the curriculum concepts she introduced in this study into a program dedicated to increasing STEM majors at Wake Forest. We formalize a 'question' as a function on some input and 'answering' as For quantum computing this measure is quantum query complexity. Research continues at a lively pace because large-scale quantum computers would far exceed the performance of classical computers, and they would have important applications in cryptanalysis because of their potential to factorize very large numbers. According to our Special In Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Thomson Reuters, his record includes 56 papers cited a total of 2,899 times between January 1, 2000 and April 30, 2010 in the field of Physics. You might think it sounds like nonsense, but quantum mechanics has proved itself in experiment after experiment and there is no doubt in the scientific community about its correctness. David Mermin's new book, Quantum Computer Science: An Introduction, just arrived in my mailbox today. As theoretical computer scientists, this query haunts us. Not bad considering Amazon.com claims its publication date was September 17. By now, maybe a half-dozen people have asked me what I thought of David Mermin's new book Quantum Computer Science: An Introduction; many seemed surprised when I told them I hadn't read it. Anyway, back to the quantum computer. The results of Burg's research, "Computer Science 'Big Ideas' Play Well in Digital Sound and Music," will be published during the upcoming Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education conference, on March 9 in Denver. This post explains quantum query complexity and lays the foundations for future entries that will introduce the lower bound technique of the (negative) adversary method, and show how it characterizes quantum query complexity through its connection to span programs.
