Quantum Basics

Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot. The fundamental unit of quantum information is the qubit, which can exist in a superposition of states, enabling quantum computers to perform certain calculations exponentially faster than classical computers.

The Bloch sphere is a geometrical representation of the pure state space of a two-level quantum system (qubit). Points on the surface of the sphere correspond to pure quantum states, while points in the interior correspond to mixed states.

In the standard basis, a qubit state is represented as:

|ψ⟩ = α|0⟩ + β|1⟩, where |α|² + |β|² = 1

This mathematical foundation enables Q0's quantum-resistant encryption, which protects against attacks from both classical and future quantum computers.
