Quantum computing exploits superposition and entanglement from "summary" of The Principles of Quantum Mechanics by P. A. M. Dirac
The concept of superposition and entanglement lies at the heart of quantum computing, offering a revolutionary approach to information processing. In quantum mechanics, a system can exist in a superposition of multiple states, rather than being limited to a single definite state. This means that a quantum bit, or qubit, can represent both a 0 and a 1 simultaneously, allowing for parallel computation of multiple possibilities. Furthermore, entanglement allows for correlations between qubits that transcend classical limitations. When qubits become entangled, the state of one qubit becomes dependent on the state of another, regardless of the distance between them. T...
