Introduction
What is Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing is an advanced field of computing that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot. At its core, a quantum computer uses quantum bits or qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously, unlike classical bits that are strictly binary (0 or 1). This property, known as superposition, along with entanglement and interference, enables quantum computers to perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds.
While classical computers execute operations in a
