Alice (Quantum Computing)

Alice is a famous concept in quantum computing used to illustrate how quantum systems process information. She represents a quantum "user" or "party" who interacts with quantum data, often in the context of cryptography or quantum communication. Unlike classical bits that are either 0 or 1, quantum bits (qubits) can exist in superpositions, allowing for more complex computation and secure information transfer. Alice's role helps us understand how quantum algorithms operate and how entanglement and measurement influence quantum information processing, making her a key figure in explaining the principles and potential of quantum technologies.
