Quantum Information Program

The Quantum Information Program explores how quantum mechanics can revolutionize the way we process and transmit information. Unlike classical bits, which are either 0 or 1, quantum bits (qubits) can exist in multiple states simultaneously thanks to phenomena like superposition and entanglement. This allows for vastly increased computing power and security in data transmission. Researchers in this field aim to develop quantum computers that could solve complex problems much faster than traditional computers and to create ultra-secure communication systems. The program combines physics, computer science, and mathematics to harness the principles of quantum theory for practical applications.
