    Study Notes

    Quantum Computing Basics

    • Quantum computers are smaller and more energy-efficient than supercomputers.
    • They use qubits (CUE-bits) to perform multidimensional quantum algorithms, unlike classical computers that use bits.
    • Qubits can compute numerous probabilities at once, dealing with multiple problems simultaneously.

    Superposition

    • A qubit can be in a state of superposition, representing a combination of all possible configurations.
    • Groups of qubits in superposition can create complex, multidimensional computational spaces.
    • This enables complex problems to be represented in new ways.

    Applications of Quantum Computing

    • Simulation
    • Optimization
    • Cryptography
    • Machine learning
