 Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
1 The Weird World of Quantum Mechanics 2 Beyond Common Sense

Think of quantum mechanics as the rules that govern the Quantum mechanics is about probability and the weirdness of
super-tiny world of atoms and particles. It's a bit different from tiny things. You can't predict exactly where a particle will be,
the world we see around us. For example, a particle can be in only the probability of finding it in a particular place. This is
multiple places at once or exist in a state of both up and down! where quantum computers come in—they use these quantum
properties to solve problems that regular computers can't.

Quantum Superposition
and Entanglement
Superposition
Superposition lets qubits exist in multiple states at once. Think of
it like a coin spinning in the air. It's not heads or tails, but both at
the same time. This ability lets quantum computers explore
many possibilities simultaneously, making them super fast!

Entanglement
Entanglement is like telepathy for particles! Two entangled
particles are connected, even if they're far apart. What happens
to one instantly affects the other. Imagine two coins spinning in
the air, always landing on the same side, even if you don't know
what that side is.
Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Circuits
Quantum Algorithms
Quantum algorithms are like recipes for solving problems using quantum mechanics. They're
1 designed to take advantage of superposition and entanglement, allowing them to solve
problems that are impossible for regular computers.

Quantum Circuits
Quantum circuits are like the blueprints for quantum computers. They're made up

of qubits and quantum gates, which act like instructions for the qubits to perform
operations.

Quantum Advantage
Quantum computers are not designed to replace regular computers.

Instead, they're meant to tackle problems that are too complex for
classical computers. We call this quantum advantage.

Superconducting Qubits
1 Superconducting qubits are made from superconductors that are cooled to extremely low temperatures. They use the
properties of superconductors to create and control qubits.

Trapped-Ion Qubits
Trapped-ion qubits use lasers to manipulate ions that are trapped in a vacuum chamber.

They're known for their long coherence times, which is important for performing complex
calculations.

Quantum Computers
Quantum computers are still in their early stages of development.

evolving. As quantum technology advances, we can expect to see
more powerful and accessible quantum computers in the future.
