Understanding Qubits: The Building Blocks of Quantum Computing 🧠

Qubits, short for quantum bits, are the basic units of information used in quantum computing. Unlike classical bits that can only exist in one of two states, either 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in multiple states simultaneously, known as a superposition of states.

This property of qubits allows for quantum computers to perform certain types of calculations exponentially faster than classical computers. Additionally, qubits can also exhibit entanglement, which means that the state of one qubit can affect the state of another qubit, even if they are physically far apart. This property is essential for quantum teleportation and other applications in quantum communication.
