Lateral computing
In a quantum computer, the fundamental unit of information (called a quantum bit or qubit), is not binary but rather more quaternary in nature. This qubit property arises as a direct consequence of its adherence to the laws of quantum mechanics, which differ radically from the laws of classical physics. A qubit can exist not only in a state corresponding to the logical state 0 or 1 as in a classical bit, but also in states corresponding to a blend or quantum superposition of these classical states. In other words, a qubit can exist as a zero, a one, or simultaneously as both 0 and 1, with a numerical coefficient representing the probability for each state. A quantum computer manipulates qubits by executing a series of quantum gates, each a unitary transformation acting on a single qubit or pair of qubits. In applying these gates in succession, a quantum computer can perform a complicated unitary transformation to a set of qubits in some initial state.
Cubic field
A cubic field is called a pure cubic field, if it can be obtained by adjoining the real cube root formula_2 of a cubefree positive integer "n" to the rational number field Q. Such fields are always complex cubic fields since each positive number has two complex non-real cube roots.A cyclic cubic field "K" is its own Galois closure with Galois group Gal("K"/Q) isomorphic to the cyclic group of order three. However, any other cubic field "K" is a non-galois extension of Q and has a field extension "N" of degree two as its Galois closure. The Galois group Gal("N"/Q) is isomorphic to the symmetric group "S" on three letters.
