Quantum computing is a revolutionary field that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations beyond classical capabilities. Here are key concepts to understand:
Qubit (Quantum Bit)
The fundamental unit of quantum information, unlike classical bits that are either 0 or 1, qubits can exist in a superposition of states.Superposition
A qubit can be in multiple states at once, represented as $ \alpha|0\rangle + \beta|1\rangle $. This allows parallel processing.Quantum Entanglement
When qubits are entangled, their states are correlated regardless of distance. This enables faster-than-classical communication.Quantum Algorithms
Algorithms like Shor's and Grover's exploit quantum properties for solving problems exponentially faster.
