Hi there, I would like some help developing a QUBO expression where a Quantum Annealing approach would find the two ways of summing the 5 numbers {1 2 3 4 5) to 8 by selecting 3 of the numbers. I am basing this off of a dwave.sys video example I found on their site. My initial kick at the can...

Thank you!

Wow! Thanks for the reply!

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

I was wondering if the resulting daughter element is ionized after the parent undergoes beta(or any other kind) of radioactive decay,

It was for high school students mainly. Thanks for posting your suggested links!

Thanks for your response @gleem and for the book recommendation. I will check it out!

Those are good ideas. Thanks for your time.

Good afternoon, I am interested in developing the critical thinking of my students further and I was thinking the focus for this line of attack would be to try and train them similarly to how experts in the physics field think. For example, scientists continuously wonder if the data they...

Hello. I am reading DeAngelis - Introduction to particle and astroparticle physics and I have come across a plot showing proton proton cross section vs energy. I am trying to reconcile the statement in the book that says cross section total = cross section elastic whenever there is no available...

Thanks guys for the response! The question, was answered, as intended by @sophiecentaur but @jbriggs444 brought up another way of thinking about it.

Is the 100 J of electric potential energy actually greater than -100 J of electric potential energy?

Thanks. I appreciate that.

I will check this out thanks. Maybe I should get a copy of these lectures and read them.
