Scientists spot 1st gamma-ray eclipses from strange 'spider' star systems

About Quantum Coherence:

• It deals with the idea that all objects have wave-like properties. 
• It states that, if an object's wave-like nature is split in two, then the two waves may coherently interfere with each other in such a way as to form a single state that is a superposition of the two states. 
• This concept of superposition is famously represented by Schrödinger's cat, which is both dead and alive at the same time when in its coherent state inside a closed box.
• It lies at the heart of quantum computing, in which a qubit is in a superposition of the "0" and "1" states.

What is Quantum Entanglement?

• It means that aspects of one particle of an entangled pair depend on aspects of the other particle, no matter how far apart they are or what lies between them. 
• Like coherence, quantum entanglement also plays an essential role in quantum technologies.

What is the principle of Superposition of Waves?

• It states that when two or more waves overlap in space, the resultant disturbance is equal to the algebraic sum of the individual disturbances.

What is a Qubit?

• A qubit (or quantum bit) is the quantum mechanical analogue of a classical bit.
• A classical binary bit can only represent a single binary value, such as 0 or 1.
• A qubit, however, can represent a 0, a 1, or any proportion of 0 and 1 in superposition of both states.
• In quantum computing the information is encoded in qubits.

Q1) What is Quantum computing?

Quantum computing is a process that uses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems too large or complex for traditional computers. Quantum computers rely on qubits to run and solve multidimensional quantum algorithms.
