Quantum Computing - Gates
Introduction In the symphony of quantum computing, the players are not classical bits but quantum bits, or qubits. At the heart of this intricate performance are quantum gates, the conductors orchestrating the quantum dance of superposition, entanglement, and parallelism. This chapter unfolds the composition of quantum gates, exploring their role as the maestros of quantum computation. The Quantum Orchestra: Superposition and Entanglement Quantum gates introduce a fundamental departure from classical logic gates by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a phenomenon known as superposition. Quantum gates manipulate these superposed states, allowing for the exploration of numerous computational paths concurrently. Entanglement, another quantum phenomenon, enables qubits to be correlated in such a way that the state of one qubit instantaneously influences the state of its entangled partner, reg...
