Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles generate or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s), even when the particles are separated by a large distance. This feature of quantum mechanics is at the […]

Atoms and quantum mechanics are related concepts, but they are fundamentally different in nature. Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Atoms: An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element, and the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. Atoms are made up of particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. […]

Quantum computing takes advantage of the strange ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Due to this, operations can be done much more quickly and use less energy than classical computers. Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Here is a basic summary of how quantum computing works: Qubits: […]

The term “quantum” is commonly used in the context of quantum physics, also known as quantum mechanics, which is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena on a very small scale, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles like electrons, protons, and photons. The word “quantum” itself comes from the Latin “quantus,” meaning “how […]
