In our last lesson, we created a Bell state. But what's actually going on beneath the surface? What is entanglement, really? What is superposition? And how do quantum gates shape these mysterious states?
In this lesson, we take a step back from the circuit and build up the fundamental concepts and math you need to truly understand how quantum computers work. Whether you're new to quantum mechanics or just looking to solidify your intuition, this is the foundation everything else is built on.
