Quantum physics describes nature at the smallest scales: atoms, photons, and electrons. Unlike the predictable rules of classical physics, the quantum world is probabilistic and counterintuitive – particles can exist in multiple states at once (superposition), or be connected across distances through what we call entanglement.

Key Concepts

• Qubits & Superposition: Unlike a classical bit (0 or 1), a qubit can be both 0 and 1 at the same time until measured.
• Entanglement: Two particles can become linked so that measuring one instantly determines the state of the other, no matter the distance.

Quantum Technologies

• Quantum Computing: Harnessing superposition and entanglement to perform calculations beyond classical computers.
• Quantum Communication: Using quantum states for ultra-secure information transfer.
• Quantum Sensing: Ultra-precise measurements for medicine, navigation, and climate science.

The Future of Quantum

Quantum is not science fiction – it is already here. While many applications are in the early stages, the field is advancing rapidly, with potential to transform industries and society.
