Probability – Conditional Probability and Independence

Resource: What is Conditional Probability? Conditional Probability Conditional probability is the likelihood of an event occurring, given that another event has already happened. It allows us to update our understanding of an outcome based on new information or specific “conditions.” The Formula P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) P(B) • P(A|B): The probability of event A ... Read More

IBM Course: Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning

Resources: Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning A Comprehensive Course Overview The Classical-Quantum Intersection Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is a symbiotic cycle where quantum and classical systems push each other’s limits. The current focus remains on applying quantum algorithms to classical datasets to complement existing workflows where classical systems already excel. Feature Mapping & Kernels A ... Read More

Caculus – Exponential Functions

Resource: The Exponential Function Suppose we have a quantity \(y\), whose rate of change over time is proportional to the amount present. We can describe this relationship using a differential equation: \[ \frac{dy}{dt} = ky \] If we define the initial state where \(y = y_0\) at time \(t = 0\), the solution to this ... Read More

Time Complexity – Computer Science

Complexity Hierarchy Logarithmic: $O(\log n)$ The “Sublinear” breakthrough. Allows processing of massive matrices by only sampling specific parts. Linear: $O(n)$ The “Old” Standard. Required reading the entire input, which is impossible for modern recommendation scales. Polynomial: $O(poly(k))$ The “Classical Analogue.” While slower than quantum, it remains fast enough to be practical. Exponential: $O(2^n)$ The “Quantum ... Read More
