We design an equivalent quantum circuit, by the means of single-qubit and two-qubit quantum gates, which can perform the operation of a quantum router. Here, we propose a new quantum circuit for designing quantum router by using IBM's five-qubit quantum computer. Quantum router is an essential ingredient in a quantum network. More advanced students can also use the game in suggested follow-up exercises to deepen students' understanding of quantum measurements and their statistical description. Several ready-to-use sets of quantum states are given, so readers can jump right in and try the game themselves without any prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. The Bloch vector formalism is introduced to give a geometric description of the quantum states and measurement outcomes. It uses twenty-sided dice or other classical random number generators to simulate quantum measurements. The goal of the game is to guess a quantum state secretly chosen from a given set in the fewest number of measurements.

This paper describes a competitive two-player game for sophomore students in a modern physics survey course or junior/senior students in an introductory quantum mechanics course to build intuition and quantitative understanding of the probabilistic nature of quantum measurements in two-level systems such as qubits or the Stern-Gerlach experiment.

Games are useful tools for introducing new concepts to students. This article presents an updated summary of this roadmap. In Europe, the QT community has profited from several EC funded coordination projects, which, among other things, have coordinated the creation of a 150-page QT Roadmap (). The field comprises four domains: quantum communication, where individual or entangled photons are used to transmit data in a provably secure way quantum simulation, where well-controlled quantum systems are used to reproduce the behaviour of other, less accessible quantum systems quantum computation, which employs quantum effects to dramatically speed up certain calculations, such as number factoring and quantum sensing and metrology, where the high sensitivity of coherent quantum systems to external perturbations is exploited to enhance the performance of measurements of physical quantities. Technologies are being developed now that explicitly address individual quantum states and make use of the 'strange' quantum properties, such as superposition and entanglement. Usually, that trigger is providing the word “secure” in the subject line.Within the last two decades, quantum technologies (QT) have made tremendous progress, moving from Nobel Prize award-winning experiments on quantum physics (1997: Chu, Cohen-Tanoudji, Phillips 2001: Cornell, Ketterle, Wieman 2005: Hall, Hänsch-, Glauber 2012: Haroche, Wineland) into a cross-disciplinary field of applied research. To ensure that it’s not overcharged for using end-to-end for every message, most organizations work with their vendors to implement a keyword that triggers a higher level of encryption for a message. But end-to-end encryption usually comes at a higher price point than the standard, or TLS.Īs a result, the organizations that purchase end-to-end encryption services from a cybersecurity vendor are usually charged by volume. If you have an option to choose the best, you’re going to do it. Of course, every organization that handles sensitive information wants to use end-to-end encryption. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the standard, yet it only secures the message, not any additional data that’s included or attached in an email.Įnd-to-end is a step above TLS message encryption as it encrypts both the message and the data by requiring the recipient to decode attached data using a private key. Certain encryption methods are more secure than others.
