  2. Quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_number

    In the era of the old quantum theory, starting from Max Planck's proposal of quanta in his model of blackbody radiation (1900) and Albert Einstein's adaptation of the concept to explain the photoelectric effect (1905), and until Erwin Schrödinger published his eigenfunction equation in 1926, [1] the concept behind quantum numbers developed based on atomic spectroscopy and theories from ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computing

    Computer engineers typically describe a modern computer's operation in terms of classical electrodynamics.Within these "classical" computers, some components (such as semiconductors and random number generators) may rely on quantum behavior, but these components are not isolated from their environment, so any quantum information quickly decoheres.

  6. Theory of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_computation

    The theory of computation can be considered the creation of models of all kinds in the field of computer science. Therefore, mathematics and logic are used. In the last century, it separated from mathematics and became an independent academic discipline with its own conferences such as FOCS in 1960 and STOC in 1969, and its own awards such as the IMU Abacus Medal (established in 1981 as the ...
