Various industries are trying to solve time and processing

power consuming problems using quantum computers to
unlock valuable applications of quantum computing. The
phenomena of quantum entanglement comes useful to
cut down on the time and computing power to process
information transfer between qubits. Entanglement
enables tasks such as quantum cryptography,
superdense coding, and teleportation.

Read our article on quantum computers to learn more

about what quantum computers are and how they work.
For more on quantum entanglement:

What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is the state where two systems
are so strongly correlated that gaining information about
one system will give immediate information about the
other no matter how far apart these systems are. This
phenomena baffled scientists like Einstein who called it
“a spooky action at a distant” because it violates the rule
saying that no information can be transmitted faster than
the speed of light. However, further research validated
entanglement using photons and electrons.

How is entanglement used in

quantum computing?
In quantum computers, changing the state of an
entangled qubit will change the state of the paired qubit
immediately. Therefore, entanglement improves the
processing speed of quantum computers. Doubling the
number of qubits will not necessarily double the number
of processes since processing one qubit will reveal
information about multiple qubits (i.e. the entangled
qubits). According to research, quantum entanglement is
necessary for a quantum algorithm to offer an
exponential speed-up over classical computations.

Applications of entanglement in
quantum computing
Simple 2-qubit entanglement pairs (EPR) have a few
identified applications in quantum computing, including:

Superdense coding

In simple words, superdense coding is the process of

transporting 2 classical bits of information using 1
entangled qubit. Superdense coding can:

Allow user to send ahead of time half of what will

be needed to reconstruct a classical message ahead
of time, which let’s the user transmit at double
speed until the pre-delivered qubits run out.

Convert high-latency bandwidth into low-latency

bandwidth by sending half of the information over
the high latency channel to support the information
coming over the low latency channel.

Double classical capacity in one direction of a two-

way quantum channel (e.g. converting a 2-way
quantum channel with bandwidth B (in both
directions) into a one-way classical channel with
bandwidth 2B).

Quantum cryptography

Cryptography is the process of exchanging information

between two parties using an encrypted code and a
deciphering key to decrypt the message.

The key to cryptography is to provide a secure channel

between 2 parties. Entanglement enables that. If two
systems are purely entangled that means they are
correlated with each other (i.e. when one changes, the
other also changes) and no third party shares this
correlation. Additionally, quantum cryptography benefits
from the no-cloning theorem which states that: “it is
impossible to create an independent and identical copy
of an arbitrary unknown quantum state”. Therefore, it is
theoretically impossible to copy data encoded in a
quantum state.

cryptography.

Quantum teleportation

Quantum teleportation is also the process of exchanging

quantum information such as photons, atoms, electrons,
and superconducting circuits between two parties.
Research suggests that teleportation allows QCs to work
in parallel and use less electricity reducing the power
consumption up to 100 to 1000 times.

The difference between quantum teleportation and

quantum cryptography is:

quantum teleportation exchanges “quantum”

information over a classical channel

quantum cryptography exchanges “classical”

information over a quantum channel

Challenges that currently face quantum teleportation are:

the volume of teleported information

the amount of quantum information shared between

the sender and receiver has before teleportation.

The sender should have one of the qubits of

the pair and the receiver the other qubit of the
pair

The strength of prior correlation between the

sender and the receiver qubits increases the
capacity of a quantum channel

teleportation circuit noise acting on the quantum

channels
