Quantum refers to an abstract concept that can be used to describe two or more quantities. It can also be called an "aggregate" or whole quantity. Duhaime's Law Dictionary is updated each year. A quantum is the sum two or more quantities. This term can also be used to describe light's behavior.
Planck's theory
Max Planck was born in Kiel, Germany in 1858. Although he began his life studying music, he decided to pursue physics instead. He studied at the universities of Munich and Berlin and earned his doctorate in thermodynamics. Planck was later appointed lecturer at Munich University, and later full professor of theoretical physical at Berlin University.
Feynman integral formulation of Feynman's Path
Path integrals, a type function integral, are not always linear. They describe the evolution of quantum systems, characterized by distinct quantum particles (either bosons or fermions). This formalism can be used to describe the evolution and resemblance of quantum systems, as it relies on the Hilbert space of analytic integral functions and the holomorphic theory in coherent states. It also determines the phase space integral and boundary conditions of a quantum system.
Schrodinger's equation
The Schrodinger equation, a linear partial differential equation, governs the wave function in a quantum-mechanical system. It was one of the key results of quantum physics and one of the most significant discoveries in quantum mechanics.
Double-slit experiment
A double-slit experiment can be used to explore quantum theory. This experiment allows electrons to pass through two thin slits simultaneously. As electrons pass through the slits they interfere with one other. As the energy per photon decreases, the interference pattern returns.
Photoelectric effect
The photoelectric phenomenon is the emission and reflection of electrons on metal surfaces by light. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz discovered it in 1887, while working with radio waves. He noticed that light from a specific wavelength could alter the voltage on a metallic surface. This was how sparks were created. Philipp Lenard demonstrated later that an electricly-charged particle, called a "photon", is released from metal surfaces when a light source passes by it. The particles emitted on a metallic surface have the exact same charge as electrons, and are identical in every respect.
FAQ
Who is the inventor of AI?
Alan Turing
Turing was conceived in 1912. His mother was a nurse and his father was a minister. He excelled in mathematics at school but was depressed when he was rejected by Cambridge University. He took up chess and won several tournaments. He returned to Britain in 1945 and worked at Bletchley Park's secret code-breaking centre Bletchley Park. Here he discovered German codes.
He died in 1954.
John McCarthy
McCarthy was born 1928. He was a Princeton University mathematician before joining MIT. The LISP programming language was developed there. He had already created the foundations for modern AI by 1957.
He passed away in 2011.
Are there potential dangers associated with AI technology?
Yes. There will always be. AI could pose a serious threat to society in general, according experts. Others argue that AI has many benefits and is essential to improving quality of human life.
AI's misuse potential is the greatest concern. AI could become dangerous if it becomes too powerful. This includes robot overlords and autonomous weapons.
AI could take over jobs. Many people worry that robots may replace workers. Some people believe artificial intelligence could allow workers to be more focused on their jobs.
Some economists even predict that automation will lead to higher productivity and lower unemployment.
What are some examples AI apps?
AI can be applied in many areas such as finance, healthcare manufacturing, transportation, energy and education. Here are a few examples.
-
Finance – AI is already helping banks detect fraud. AI can scan millions of transactions every day and flag suspicious activity.
-
Healthcare – AI helps diagnose and spot cancerous cell, and recommends treatments.
-
Manufacturing - AI is used to increase efficiency in factories and reduce costs.
-
Transportation – Self-driving cars were successfully tested in California. They are being tested in various parts of the world.
-
Utilities use AI to monitor patterns of power consumption.
-
Education - AI has been used for educational purposes. Students can use their smartphones to interact with robots.
-
Government – AI is being used in government to help track terrorists, criminals and missing persons.
-
Law Enforcement-Ai is being used to assist police investigations. Search databases that contain thousands of hours worth of CCTV footage can be searched by detectives.
-
Defense - AI can be used offensively or defensively. In order to hack into enemy computer systems, AI systems could be used offensively. Defensively, AI can be used to protect military bases against cyber attacks.
How does AI function?
Basic computing principles are necessary to understand how AI works.
Computers keep information in memory. Computers process data based on code-written programs. The code tells the computer what to do next.
An algorithm is a set of instructions that tell the computer how to perform a specific task. These algorithms are often written in code.
An algorithm can be considered a recipe. An algorithm can contain steps and ingredients. Each step may be a different instruction. For example, one instruction might say "add water to the pot" while another says "heat the pot until boiling."
How does AI work
An algorithm is an instruction set that tells a computer how solves a problem. An algorithm can be described in a series of steps. Each step must be executed according to a specific condition. A computer executes each instructions sequentially until all conditions can be met. This is repeated until the final result can be achieved.
Let's take, for example, the square root of 5. One way to do this is to write down all numbers between 1 and 10 and calculate the square root of each number, then average them. That's not really practical, though, so instead, you could write down the following formula:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
This is the same way a computer works. It takes your input, multiplies it with 0.5, divides it again, subtracts 1 then outputs the result.

How To
How to make Siri talk while charging
Siri can do many tasks, but Siri cannot communicate with you. Because your iPhone doesn't have a microphone, this is why. Bluetooth or another method is required to make Siri respond to you.
Here's how Siri will speak to you when you charge your phone.
-
Select "Speak When locked" under "When using Assistive Touch."
-
To activate Siri, double press the home key twice.
-
Siri can be asked to speak.
-
Say, "Hey Siri."
