What is Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing harnesses quantum mechanical phenomena like superposition and entanglement to process information in fundamentally new ways. Unlike classical bits that are either 0 or 1, quantum bits (qubits) can exist in multiple states simultaneously.
Key Concepts
Superposition: Qubits can be in multiple states at once, enabling parallel computation.
Entanglement: Qubits can be correlated in ways impossible for classical systems.
Quantum Gates: Operations that manipulate qubits to perform computations.
Qubits
The fundamental unit of quantum information
Entanglement
Quantum correlations between particles
