While bits are nothing new to us, the term “qubit” may be unfamiliar to some. Similar to classical information, the fundamental building block of a quantum system is the quantum bit, or qubit. Qubit and its features are defined and discussed in this blog. To store data in quantum computers, we employ a basic building block called a qubit. In contrast to bits, which exist in binary states like 0 or 1, qubits exist in quantum states like |0⟩ and |1⟩ and they can exist in superposition of these two states as well.                                                                            |ψ>=α|0⟩+β|1⟩, where α and β are complex numbers. which represents probability amplitudes of corresponding basis state. The state will initially at |ψ> and upon measuring the sys...

  I was first introduced to the world of quantum mechanics through popular media like Marvel movies and online videos. As I advanced in my higher education, I found myself increasingly fascinated by the fundamental principles of quantum physics. What I realized is that the actual facts and phenomena, like quantum tunneling, quantum teleportation, quantum algorithms, quantum machine learning, quantum communication, etc., within the realm of quantum mechanics are often more astonishing and mind-boggling than the speculations and mysteries that occasionally surround them. One captivating example of this is the intriguing concept of quantum teleportation. The concept of quantum mechanics has generated a significant amount of excitement among people from various backgrounds. Quantum is no longer confined to the realms of science fiction or specialised scientific knowledge. This article aims to introduce the origins of quantum mechanics in simpler terms without delving too deeply into co...
