Quantum Computing Basics
Unlocking new frontiers with Quantum Computing
Why Quantum Computing Matters
The Quantum Leap:
Classical computers process information in binary (0s and 1s), but quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in superposition (both 0 and 1 simultaneously). This allows them to solve problems exponentially faster in certain domains.
Why Now?
Quantum computing is transitioning from theory to real-world applications. IQM is at the forefront of this revolution, building quantum systems used in cutting-edge research and industry applications globally.
Understanding quantum computing
Quantum computing is based on qubits, which differ fundamentally from classical bits. While a bit is either 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in a superposition of both states simultaneously. This unique property exponentially increases computational capacity.
Classic Bit
2 distinct states
