Quantum Information Science

Quantum Information Science is the study of how quantum mechanics, the science of the very small, can be used to process and transmit information. It involves understanding phenomena like superposition and entanglement, where particles can exist in multiple states or be interconnected regardless of distance. In the context of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), which explains how light and matter interact, Quantum Information Science explores how these interactions can enhance technologies like quantum computing and secure communication. Overall, it bridges the gap between computer science and fundamental physics, opening new possibilities for information processing.
