3. Introduction to Quantum Computing
● Quantum computing is different than classical computing
● Quantum computing is not faster than classical computing
● Qubits is first class citizen in Quantum computing whereas Bits is first class citizen in classical
computing
● Qubits at any point of time can take value of 0, 1 or both 0 and 1 unlike bits which can be either 0 or
1 but not both at the same point of time.
