Hello people of physics
I am writing a paper for an undergraduate quantum mechanics course (my second quantum course) on the following topic

The role of entanglement in quantum computing

Just wondering if somebody could recommend a good paper or a good book on this topic. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I personally am not sure in regards to textbooks and/or research papers, but you may find "The God Effect" to be an interesting novel. It discusses the applications of Entanglement in computing very clearly, but also not very technically. You may find it useful.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!

Thread 'Does a qubit break interference in the double slit experiment?'

According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
