Introduction

Quantum Computing is an advanced computing paradigm that uses principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Unlike classical computers that use bits, quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This enables faster computation for certain complex problems. Quantum Information focuses on how information is represented, processed, and transmitted using quantum systems. This training introduces quantum principles, quantum algorithms, and tools used in quantum programming and simulation.
