Merton College, Oxford
Merton College (in full: The House or College of Scholars of Merton in the University of Oxford) is one of the Colleges of Oxford University, constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. Its foundation can be traced back to the 1260s when Walter de Merton, chancellor to Henry III of England, Henry III and later to Edward I of England, Edward I, first drew up statutes for an independent academic community and established endowments to support it. An important feature of de Merton's foundation was that this "college" was to be self-governing and the endowments were directly vested in the Warden and Fellows. By 1274, when Walter retired from royal service and made his final revisions to the college statutes, the community was consolidated at its present site in the south east corner of the city of Oxford, and a rapid programme of building commenced. The hall and the Merton College Chapel, chapel and the rest of the front quad were complete before the end of the 13th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ried Im Innkreis
Ried im Innkreis (Central Bavarian: ''Riad'') is a town in the Austrian state of Upper Austria, approximately west of Linz and north of Salzburg. It is the capital of the district of Ried im Innkreis, and it serves as the administrative centre for the Innviertel region. Geography Ried is situated in a hollow of the Alpine foothills, to the north of the Hausruck Forest (''Hausruckwald''). The name of the city is derived from the Middle High German "Riet" (also: Rieth, Reet, Rohr, and the like), which denotes the reed which grows along the shores of swamps. Ried im Innkreis is above sea level. It measures from the North to the South and from the East to the West and it is 6.7 km² (2.6 sq mi) in area. Climate Ried has a humid continental climate, bordering on an oceanic climate. Town structure Ried consists of a city core, composed of several spatially separated squares (e.g. '' Hauptplatz'', ''Stelzhamerplatz'', ''Kirchenplatz'', ''Roßmarkt'', ''Marktplatz'', an ...

List Of Nobel Laureates In Physics
The Nobel Prize in Physics ( sv, Nobelpriset i fysik) is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists in the various fields of physics. It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel (who died in 1896), awarded for outstanding contributions in physics. As dictated by Nobel's will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The award is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on 10 December, the anniversary of Nobel's death. Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award prize that has varied throughout the years. Statistics The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to 221 individuals until 2022. The first prize in physics was awarded in 1901 to Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, of Germany, who received 150,782 SEK. John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice—in 1956 and 1972. Marie Skłodowska-Curie also won two Nobel Prizes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Physicist
A physicist is a scientist who specializes in the field of physics, which encompasses the interactions of matter and energy at all length and time scales in the physical universe. Physicists generally are interested in the root or ultimate causes of phenomena, and usually frame their understanding in mathematical terms. Physicists work across a wide range of research fields, spanning all length scales: from sub-atomic and particle physics, through biological physics, to cosmological length scales encompassing the universe as a whole. The field generally includes two types of physicists: experimental physicists who specialize in the observation of natural phenomena and the development and analysis of experiments, and theoretical physicists who specialize in mathematical modeling of physical systems to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena. Physicists can apply their knowledge towards solving practical problems or to developing new technologies (also known as applie ...

Superdense Coding
In quantum information theory, superdense coding (also referred to as ''dense coding'') is a quantum communication protocol to communicate a number of classical bits of information by only transmitting a smaller number of qubits, under the assumption of sender and receiver pre-sharing an entangled resource. In its simplest form, the protocol involves two parties, often referred to as Alice and Bob in this context, which share a pair of maximally entangled qubits, and allows Alice to transmit two bits (''i.e.'', one of 00, 01, 10 or 11) to Bob by sending only one qubit. This protocol was first proposed by Charles H. Bennett and Stephen Wiesner in 1970 Memorial blog post by Or Sattath, with scan of Bennett's handwritten notes from 1970.

GHZ Experiment
The Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger experiment or GHZ experiments are a class of physics experiments that may be used to generate starkly contrasting predictions from local hidden-variable theory and quantum mechanics, quantum mechanical theory, and permit immediate comparison with actual experimental results. A GHZ experiment is similar to a Bell test experiments, test of Bell's inequality, except using three or more entangled subatomic particle, particles, rather than two. With specific settings of GHZ experiments, it is possible to demonstrate absolute contradictions between the predictions of local hidden variable theory and those of quantum mechanics, whereas tests of Bell's inequality only demonstrate contradictions of a statistical nature. The results of actual GHZ experiments agree with the predictions of quantum mechanics. The GHZ experiments are named for Daniel Greenberger, Daniel M. Greenberger, Michael Horne (physicist), Michael A. Horne, and Anton Zeilinger (GHZ) who fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger State
In physics, in the area of quantum information theory, a Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state (GHZ state) is a certain type of entangled quantum state that involves at least three subsystems (particle states, qubits, or qudits). It was first studied by Daniel Greenberger, Michael Horne and Anton Zeilinger in 1989. Extremely non-classical properties of the state have been observed. Definition The GHZ state is an entangled quantum state for 3 qubits and its state is :, \mathrm\rangle = \frac. Generalization The generalized GHZ state is an entangled quantum state of subsystems. If each system has dimension d, i.e., the local Hilbert space is isomorphic to \mathbb^d, then the total Hilbert space of partite system is \mathcal_=(\mathbb^d)^. This GHZ state is also named as M-partite qudit GHZ state, it reads :, \mathrm\rangle=\frac\sum_^, i\rangle\otimes\cdots\otimes, i\rangle=\frac(, 0\rangle\otimes\cdots\otimes, 0\rangle+\cdots+, d-1\rangle\otimes\cdots\otimes, d-1\rangle). ...
