• Data scientists have to analyze huge amounts of information!
  • There are many means of collecting and transporting information.
  • One such way is quantum information.
    • Quantum information is transmitted through bits of information called qubits.
      • Qubits can transmit vast quantities of data.
      • They are generally found in one of two states: 0 and 1.
      • Qubits can be entangled with other qubits; during entanglement, we can determine information about properties of one qubit based off the other qubit it is entangled with! This is because during entanglement, the two qubits influence each other’s states, and thus their properties correlate.
      • Whenever a qubit is measured, the quantumness of the system is destroyed; that is to say that the superposed state a qubit is in becomes a definite classical state (the aforementioned 0 or 1) with predetermined probability. This process is irreversible.
