Understanding the fundamental principles of quantum computing, including qubits, superposition, entanglement, and the Bloch sphere representation.
A qubit (quantum bit) can exist in two fundamental states, |0⟩ and |1⟩, as well as in a superposition of these states.
Superposition allows a qubit to exist in multiple states simultaneously, enabling parallel computation.
Entanglement is a phenomenon where qubits become correlated, meaning the state of one qubit affects the other, even across large distances.
The Bloch Sphere represents a qubit's state in a 3D space, visualizing superposition and phase differences.
