These unused qubits are called “gauge qubits” --- we don’t care about their quantum state and we don’t have to correct their errors. Choosing not to correct the gauge qubits can be surprisingly useful. For one thing, we are free to m ...

Clearly, for the photon to be detected at x, either it went through slit 1 and ended up at x or it went through slit 2 ...

The fact that there is not an exact coincidence can easily be understood: the term proportional to ln N describes fluctuations. If ...

The position of Venus had to be in the “superior conjunction” position on the other side of the sun from the Earth.
