Introduction
Quantum entanglement is a quantum phenomenon where two or more qubits are sharing information about their states, in such a way that qubits can't be described as individual subsystems. Quantum entanglement is a fundamental concept in quantum computing and it can be also a powerful tool.
In this module, you transfer the state of a qubit from one location to another without physically moving the qubit itself. This process, known as quantum teleportation, relies heavily on the principles of quantum entanglement. You'll use Q# and the Azure Quantum Development Kit to create and manipulate entangled qubits. To perform the teleportation, you use operations like Controlled-NOT (CNOT), Hadamard (H), and Pauli X and Z to create Bell states.
By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
- Describe the concept of quantum entanglement.
- Understand the quantum teleportation protocol.
- Apply single-qubit and multi-qubit operations using Q#.
- Create and manipulate entangled qubits using Q#.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of quantum computing concepts.
- Advanced knowledge of linear algebra and Dirac notation.
- The latest version of Visual Studio Code or open Visual Studio Code on the Web.
- The latest version of the Azure Quantum Development Kit extension.
Recommended learning
To get the most out of this module, it's recommended to have the Explore quantum superposition with Q# module completed. This module introduces the basic concepts of Dirac notation, qubit states, and quantum gates.
