Initial Ideas - Quantum Computing
  1. Quantum Photonics
    1. Research at the University of Bristol - Using Photons to store information
      1. Inheriting the principle of superposition and the wave particle duality of light ~ Link to AS Physic
      2. Fiber Optics & Wave Guides
      3. Future Effects
        1. Quantum Cryptography & Security
          1. Algorithms for optimisation problems like factorising large numbers.
            1. Effect this may have on current encryption techniques
            2. Using Ideas of Quantum Mechanics to transfer information. (Polarisation of light)
            3. Speed of computation
              1. Huge Investment in Quantum Computation from companies like Google and IBM as well as institutions like the US government.
                1. D - WAVE
              2. Quantum Technologies - Qubits
                1. Using the spin of an electron as the Qubit to store and compute information
                  1. Using Photons as Qubit
                  2. Quantum Vs Classical
                    1. Classical Binary system vs a system that can use superposition to have the option of 1/0/1&0
                      1. Schrodinger's Cat Though Experiment
                      2. Classical Computers will almost certainly remain the fastest way to complete ordinary task - Quantum computing will only be useful for specialist tasks.
