What are the properties of quantum mechanics?
The main properties of quantum mechanics are the quantification of energy (quanta), the wave particle duality, the uncertainty principle and the correspondence principle. Connection to Big Idea about energy: Electronic transition in atoms corresponds to a quantized energy.
What is the physics behind quantum computing?
Quantum computing harnesses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to deliver a huge leap forward in computation to solve certain problems. IBM designed quantum computers to solve complex problems that today’s most powerful supercomputers cannot solve, and never will.
What can quantum physics be used for?
Quantum physics governs the way the universe behaves at the scale of atoms, electrons and photons. They explore how to control the tiniest constituents of the universe and imagine putting them to use to build a new generation of computers.
Is quantum physics same as quantum computing?
Quantum computing is the study of how to use phenomena in quantum physics to create new ways of computing. Quantum computing is made up of qubits.

What is quantum superposition in quantum mechanics?
Quantum superposition. It states that, much like waves in classical physics, any two (or more) quantum states can be added together (“superposed”) and the result will be another valid quantum state; and conversely, that every quantum state can be represented as a sum of two or more other distinct states.
What is the purpose of entanglement in quantum computers?
In a quantum computer, entanglement is used as a sort of computational multiplier for qubits. As you entangle more and more qubits together, the ability of the system to make calculations grows
How does a quantum computer work?
The working of a quantum computer is based on using the particles in superposition. Rather than representing bits, such particles represent qubits, which can take on the value 0, 1, or both simultaneously. Quantum computer can hold the information using a system that can exist in two states at the same time.
What is a composite system in quantum mechanics?
A composite system can be expressed as a sum or superposition of products of the individual states of the local constituents. Superposition helps do away from binary constraints. The working of a quantum computer is based on using the particles in superposition.
