Hi there, hello there! We are back with yet another super useful blog of ours and we are sure that you are going to have a fantastic time reading it. Since you have already read the title of the blog, we won’t take too long to formally begin talking about the basic ideas of Quantum Computing but before we do that, allow us to take a moment to thank you all for the love and support that you send our way and for also making sure that your friends, family members and favorite colleagues are reading our blogs and making the most of them too. And we would love to see more of that happening in the future as well.
To know the basic ideas of Quantum Computing, you should also know what that thing means, right? So, in this part of the blog, we are going to be talking about Quantum Computing in general and we will also try to keep the language super easy to understand so that anyone and everyone knows what we are saying. Okay? Let’s dive right into it then!
So, Quantum Computing is a technology that utilizes quantum mechanics to solve complex problems; problems that are way too complex for conventional computers. This technology utilizes the aspects of physics, computer sciences, and mathematics to solve the required problems. We must also mention that Quantum computing is a highly advanced and rapidly emerging technology and a couple of the real-life examples include: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cryptography and Machine Learning. It is also safe to say that Quantum Computing will continue to shape the world for the greater good unless its users start using it to cause destruction in the world.

The four basic ideas or fundamentals of Quantum Computing are listed down below:
- Qubits and Superposition
- Quantum Entanglement
- Quantum Algorithms
- Quantum Measurement
Are those terms are little too hard to understand? Well, we know that but don’t worry as in this part of the blog, we will discuss the basic ideas of Quantum Computing so, make sure that you guys keep reading the blog till the end!
What are Qubits and Superposition?
In the world of Quantum Computing, a Qubit (Quantum Bit) happens to be the basic unit of Quantum Information. In easy-to-understand words; Qubits are the quantum analogs of Classical Bits but the Classical Bits can only be in a state of 0 or 1 (at any given time). On the other hand, the Qubits can exist in a state of 0, 1, or both (simultaneously as 0 and 1). This can happen due to the phenomenon of Superposition. So, when it comes to performing calculations, Quantum Computers can do that on multiple units at the same time.
What is Quantum Entanglement?
As far as the idea of Quantum Entanglement is concerned, we must mention here that it is also an interesting phenomenon mainly because of the fact that the particles act in the form of a group and the quantum state of any particle cannot be described individually or independently. What we mean to say is that the qubits become correlated and whatever happens to one qubit will also happen to the rest of the qubits present in the group – regardless of the distance between them. We would also like to mention here that with the help of Quantum Entanglement, the Quantum Computers are able to process information in a highly interconnected way.
Quantum Algorithms & Quantum Measurement
Other ideas like Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Measurement are also utilized to perform tasks at hand. Both these phenomena enable the users to solve complex problems in an efficient manner without having to rely on classical computers. However, you must also know that Quantum Computers are delicate and can be easily affected by external errors. This means that they can issue results that are not reliable. The only way to free the results from errors is to carefully manage the Quantum state and ensure that there is no noise or disturbance in the system.
That is all for today! We hope that you enjoyed reading the blog and that you will also take out some time to share your feedback with us in the comments section. And while you are at it, don’t forget to share this blog with your friends, family and colleagues so that they can also learn a thing or two about the basic ideas of Quantum Computing. Lastly (and like always), we would like you all to share your special requests with us here so that we can start working on them and be back here with your requested content and more super soon. Until then, keep reading and sharing our blogs in your personal and professional circles.
