1 What is Quantum Computing?


Quantum computing leverages principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition
and entanglement, to perform computations. Unlike classical bits (0 or 1), quantum bits
(qubits) can exist in multiple states simultaneously, enabling massive parallel processing.

2 Key Concepts
• Superposition: A qubit can be in a state of 0, 1, or both at once.

• Entanglement: Qubits can be correlated, so the state of one instantly affects


another.

• Quantum Gates: Operations that manipulate qubits, analogous to classical logic


gates.

3 Applications
Quantum computing has potential in:

• Cryptography: Breaking classical encryption methods.

• Optimization: Solving complex logistical problems.

• Drug Discovery: Simulating molecular interactions.

4 Challenges
Current challenges include error rates, qubit stability, and scalability. Companies like
IBM and Google are advancing quantum hardware.
