Quantum Random Number Generator

Quantum Computing

A computing paradigm that uses quantum mechanical phenomena like superposition and entanglement to process information exponentially faster for certain problems.

Qubit

The fundamental unit of quantum information, capable of existing in a superposition of both 0 and 1 states simultaneously.

Superposition

A quantum mechanical property where a qubit exists in multiple states simultaneously until measured.

Quantum Entanglement

A phenomenon where two or more qubits become correlated such that the quantum state of one instantly influences the other regardless of distance.

Quantum Gate

A basic quantum circuit operation that manipulates one or more qubits, analogous to logic gates in classical computing.

Quantum Circuit

A sequence of quantum gates applied to qubits to perform a quantum computation.

Quantum Error Correction

Techniques for protecting quantum information from errors due to decoherence and other quantum noise sources.

Decoherence

The loss of quantum coherence when a quantum system interacts with its environment, causing errors in computation.

Quantum Noise

Random fluctuations in quantum systems that introduce errors and limit the accuracy of quantum computations.

NISQ

Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum — the current era of quantum computing with limited, error-prone qubits.

Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

Quantum computing systems that can continue to operate correctly even in the presence of errors.

Quantum Teleportation

The transfer of quantum states between qubits using entanglement and classical communication.

An algorithm designed to run on a quantum computer, potentially solving certain problems faster than classical algorithms.

Neural network architectures designed to run on quantum hardware, potentially offering computational advantages.

A collection of qubits that together store quantum information for processing in a quantum circuit.

Computing architectures that combine quantum processors with classical computers to leverage the strengths of both.

A quantum phenomenon where particles pass through energy barriers that would be impossible to overcome classically.

A quantum algorithm for integer factorisation that runs exponentially faster than the best known classical algorithms.

A qubit design that encodes information in the topological properties of matter, offering inherent error protection.

A hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for finding the ground state energy of molecular systems.
