These are the fundamental units of information in a quantum computer. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a concept known as superposition.
This is a phenomenon where qubits become interconnected in a way that the state of one qubit instantly affects the state of another, regardless of their distance.
These are operations performed on qubits to manipulate their quantum states. They are analogous to classical logic gates but operate on qubits.
These are specialized algorithms that leverage the unique properties of quantum mechanics to solve certain problems more efficiently than classical computers, such as factoring large numbers and simulating quantum systems.
This is the ability of a qubit to maintain its quantum state before it is disturbed by external factors. Maintaining quantum coherence is crucial for the successful operation of a quantum computer.
