Introduction

Quantum computers are not just faster computers - they're fundamentally different machines that can solve problems classical computers never could!

1

What is a Qubit?

Unlike classical bits (0 or 1), qubits can be both 0 AND 1 simultaneously thanks to superposition. Imagine a coin spinning in the air - it's both heads and tails until it lands!

Quantum Entanglement

When qubits become entangled, measuring one instantly affects the other, no matter how far apart they are. This is what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance."

4

Why Quantum Computers Are Powerful

With n qubits, you can represent 2^n states simultaneously. Just 300 qubits could represent more states than there are atoms in the universe!
