- Quantum computers use qubits in superposition to enable parallel computation.
- Entanglement enables qubit correlation, unlocking exponential power.
- Quantum gates control qubits through interference, forming the basis of quantum algorithms.
- Current devices belong to the NISQ era and lack fault tolerance.
- Decoherence and noise are the biggest barriers to scaling quantum systems.
- Quantum error correction requires many physical qubits to encode one logical qubit.
- Quantum supremacy is a theoretical milestone, but real-world value lies in achieving quantum advantage.
- Quantum technologies extend beyond computing to sensing and secure communication.
