Introduction
• Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize technology by leveraging the principles of
quantum mechanics to perform calculations far beyond the capabilities of classical
computers.
• Unlike classical computers that use bits to represent data as either 0 or 1, quantum
computers use quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously due
to superposition.
• The real potential of quantum computing lies in its ability to solve problems that are currently
intractable for classical systems, such as simulating complex molecular structures for drug
discovery, optimizing large-scale systems in real time, and breaking traditional cryptographic
protocols.

Background & Fundamentals
• Superposition allows qubits to represent multiple states at once, enabling massive
parallelism in computations.
• Entanglement creates interdependencies between qubits, allowing faster processing and
better coordination.
• Quantum computers aim to solve problems like simulating molecular structures or optimizing
large-scale systems, which classical computers cannot.
• Quantum computing is driven by the foundational principles of quantum mechanics, which
differ drastically from classical physics.
