Quantum computing leverages quantum mechanical principles from "summary" of Code by Charles Petzold
The weirdness of quantum mechanics is often associated with the realm of subatomic particles and distant galaxies. But in recent years, this strangeness has made its way into the world of computing. Quantum computing is a new paradigm that promises immense computational power by tapping into the bizarre behavior of quantum mechanics.
At the heart of quantum computing is the concept of superposition. In classical computing, a bit can be either 0 or 1. But in the quantum world, a quantum bit, or qubit, can exist in a state of superposition, simultaneously representing 0 and 1. This allows quantum computers to perform vast numbers of calculations in parallel, leading to exponential speedups over classical computers for certain types of problems.
Another key principle of quantum mechanics that quantum computing leverages is entanglement. When two particles become entangled, their states become intrinsically linked, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon allows quantum computers to perform operations on ...
