Quantum Information Processing

Quantum Information Processing harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to manipulate and transmit information. In the context of Quantum Optics, it involves using light (photons) as carriers of quantum information. Through phenomena like superposition and entanglement, quantum systems can exist in multiple states simultaneously and become interconnected in ways classical systems cannot. This allows for potentially faster and more secure data processing and communication. Applications include quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and advanced sensing technologies, which aim to revolutionize how we handle data and ensure privacy in information transfer.
