COMPUTING
> WHAT_IS_QUANTUM_COMPUTING?
Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses the rules of quantum mechanics — the science that explains how tiny particles like electrons and photons behave.
CLASSICAL_COMPUTERS
Use bits, which can be either 0 or 1
0
1
QUANTUM_COMPUTERS
Use qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition (both at once)
0+1
KEY_CONCEPTS
SUPERPOSITION
A qubit can be in more than one state at once.
ENTANGLEMENT
Two qubits can be linked so that changing one instantly affects the other.
INTERFERENCE
Quantum computers can make certain outcomes more likely and others less likely.
