Introduction to Quantum Computing:

Quantum computing is a groundbreaking field at the intersection of physics and computer science that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations that were previously considered infeasible by classical computers. Unlike classical bits, which are binary (0 or 1), quantum bits or qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition, enabling quantum computers to solve complex problems exponentially faster. This emerging technology holds immense promise for revolutionizing industries such as cryptography, drug discovery, and optimization.

Quantum Algorithms:
