Description
Quantum matrix network. Today's computers store information as 'bits', with each transistor holding either a 1 or a 0. But thanks to something called the superposition principle, behavior exhibited by subatomic particles like electrons and photons, the fundamental particles of light, a quantum bit, or 'qubit', can store a 1 and a 0 at the same time. This means two qubits can hold four values at once. As you expand the number of qubits, the machine becomes exponentially more powerful. Supersymmetry, is a particle physics theory that proposes a type of spacetime symmetry relating two basic classes of elementary particles: bosons, which have an integer-valued 'spin', and fermions, which have a half-integer spin. If supersymmetry is a true symmetry of nature, it would explain many mysterious features of particle physics and help solve paradoxes such as the cosmological constant problem.
