10 Foundational Principles of Quantum Computing – Part I

Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to handle information, and therefore enabling it to tackle complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Specifically, this capability leads students to embark on a fascinating exploration of cutting-edge science and technology. Moreover, the physical properties of matter or systems, like energy, are not continuous but exist in discrete, quantized amounts. So, a quantum represents the smallest measurable unit of a physical property. Furthermore, a quantum state describes a quantum system, which in turn allows us to calculate observable characteristics such as position or momentum. Particularly, in this article series, I will explain 10 foundational principles of quantum computing.
