what is the difference between fuzzy logic and probability?? and why we needed fuzzy logic when we already had probability?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

probability is discrete options that can either be happening, or not, at any time fuzzy logic is that all options that happen at all times, but to varying degree

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

no i read a book on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What book did you read? @UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Fuzzy Thinking - Bart Kosko

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is Quantom computing considered fuzzy logic then? @UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yes Quantum computing uses qbits [quantum digits], (rather than bits [binary digits])

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its fuzzy??

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

exactly, the values are all between 0 and 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its fuzzy because the values are between zero and one ? -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean the values are zero and one at the same time?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

no, how can a value be two values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you not familiar with quantom physics. Probability theory?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an electron can be in the same place at the same time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont believe a qbit is a decimal

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

they are irrationals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is a source proving they are not in between http://www.quantiki.org/wiki/Qubit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Superposition theory...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Comp Sci major?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

I study physics; Nuclear Science, but this year i am taking ComSci, When i say 'value' i mean that value that pops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wait wati.. your in physics and you just asked me how can a value be two values. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol just messin with you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what year are you ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

sophomore

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too. Im a comp sci major. I will say after taking my two physic Calculus classes, i have come to the consensus that physics is the hardest major. I got a -A in both, but still.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why are there moderators in here?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

(everyone can be learning )

Parth (parthkohli):

Maybe they're just looking at this thread out of curiosity? I mean moderators aren't here just to moderate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do moderators get paid?

Parth (parthkohli):

No. Source: am a moderator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that sucks. why don't you go work for chegg. I think you have more than enough experience lol

@Austin6i6 Electrons can't be in the same place at the same time because they are fermions and obey the Pauli exclusion principle. The superposition described is not the same as "being in two places at the same time" it's a superposition of probabilities of being at a location. The two numbers represent two coordinates in a 2D plane like a clock hand with the x component and y component both representing the square root of the probability they have that value. This sounds complicated until you understand that when you square both of them and add them up you always get 1, which is saying you have a circle of radius 1, which in this context is 100% because it's probability you see?
