GLOSSARY

Boson Sampling is a specialized model of quantum computation that involves sampling from the probability distribution of identical bosons (typically photons) scattered through a linear optical network. This quantum approach […]

FTQC, which stands for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing, refers to the ability of a quantum computer to continue operating correctly in the presence of errors and faults. It involves sophisticated techniques […]

NISQ, which stands for Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum, refers to the current generation of quantum computers. These devices have several tens to a few hundred qubits and are characterized by their […]

What is a Photonic Qubit? A Photonic Qubit is a quantum bit encoded in the quantum states of light. At the quantum level light is made up of individual particles […]

Quantum as a Service (QaaS) refers to cloud-based platforms that provide access to quantum computing resources over the internet. This model allows users to run quantum algorithms and experiments on […]

Quantum Computing is a revolutionary approach to computation that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Unlike classical computers that use bits (0s and 1s), quantum computers use […]

Decoherence is a phenomenon where a quantum system loses its coherence, or quantum behavior, due to interactions with its environment. It’s the process by which the quantum nature of a […]

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental quantum phenomenon where two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently, even […]

Quantum Mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that describes the behavior of light and matter at the molecular, atomic, nuclear, and even smaller microscopic levels. It provides a mathematical […]

Superposition is a phenomenon where a quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously. Unlike classical systems that must be in one definite state at any given time, a quantum […]

A qubit is the fundamental unit of quantum information, existing in a superposition of two basis states simultaneously. Unlike classical bits, qubits can represent a continuum of states between 0 and 1, enabling the unique computational capabilities of quantum systems.

A Single Photon Source (SPS) is a specialized device or system that can emit exactly one photon at a time, either on demand or with high probability. These sources are […]
