Q. Consider the following statements regarding the quantum computers:
1.Quantum computers use qubits as their fundamental unit.
2.Superposition and entanglement allow quantum computers to solve problems much faster than classical computers.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanations –
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) as their basic unit of computation. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in multiple states (0, 1, or a superposition of both) simultaneously. The principles of superposition (where qubits can hold multiple states at once) and entanglement (where qubits are intrinsically linked) enable quantum computers to perform many computations simultaneously. This makes them significantly faster compared to classical computers.
