Review of Quantum Mechanics
... In order to avoid multiple values of the probability, the wave function must be single valued. For finite potentials, the wave function and its derivative must be continuous. This is required because the second-order derivative term in the wave equation must be single valued. (There are exceptions t ...

Wavelike properties of particles
... If asked: is electron wave or particle? They are both. In any experiment (or empirical observation) only one aspect of either wave or particle, but not both can be observed simultaneously. It’s like a coin with two faces. But one can only see one side of the coin but not the other at any instance. T ...

... In the quantum algorithm, what we want to do is to use the fact that there are an equal number of 0s and 1s, to get the 0s and 1s to cancel one another. First, however, we need to be clear as to what exactly is given in the quantum algorithm. The quantum algorithm does not oracle-query f , rather it ...
