How is a quantum computer different from a regular computer?
Regular computers use bits (0 or 1). Quantum computers use qubits that can be 0, 1, or both at the same time! This helps them solve certain problems much faster.
What is superposition in quantum computing?
Superposition is when a qubit can be in multiple states at once! It's like being able to be in many places at the same time, letting quantum computers explore many possibilities simultaneously.
What is quantum entanglement?
Entanglement is when two qubits become connected. When one changes, the other instantly changes too - no matter how far apart they are! Einstein called this 'spooky action at a distance.'
What can quantum computers do better than regular computers?
Quantum computers can solve certain problems much faster! They're great at simulating molecules for medicine, optimizing complex systems, and breaking certain types of encryption.
What is Schrödinger's cat and how does it relate to quantum physics?
Schrödinger's cat is a famous thought experiment where a cat in a box can be both alive and dead at the same time until we look! It helps explain how quantum particles can exist in multiple states until measured.
How do quantum bits (qubits) store information?
Instead of being just 0 or 1 like regular bits, qubits use the quantum properties of tiny particles. They can represent 0, 1, or a combination of both at the same time thanks to superposition!
