fundamentally different ways than classical computers. Quantum bits, or qubits, can exist in multiple
Quantum algorithms exploit the unique properties of quantum mechanics, such as superposition
and entanglement, to solve complex problems more efficiently than classical algorithms. Shor's
algorithm for factoring large numbers and Grover's algorithm for searching unsorted databases are
notable examples.
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where the quantum states of two or more particles
become interconnected. This interconnection means the state of one particle directly affects the
Despite the potential, quantum computing faces significant challenges, including error rates,
decoherence, and the need for extremely low temperatures. Ongoing research aims to overcome
