    Quantum Information Processing: Foundations - Part 1

    For decades, computation has mostly been carried out via machines that represent data in one of two states: 0 or 1. These machines, most probably including the one you are reading this with, are classified as classical…

    Quantum Information Processing: Foundations - Part 2

    Previously, we had a brief introduction to the idea of geometrically visualizing a qubit 's quantum state in a 3D sphere called the Bloch Sphere (Bloch, F., 1946) — named after Felix Bloch, the Swiss-American…

    Quantum Information Processing: Foundations - Part 3

    Having laid out some mathematical foundations in the previous part, we will proceed to discussing quantum gates and circuits in depth here. As usual, we will drive home the theories with worked examples from (Rieffel, E.…
