Unlike a classical bit that can be either 0 or 1, a qubit can be in a superposition of both states simultaneously. +- **Superposition**: A principle of quantum mechanics where a qubit can exist in multiple states at once. For example, a qubit can be in a state that is a combination of both |0⟩ and |1⟩. +- **Entanglement**: A quantum phenomenon where two qubits become linked, and the state of one qubit depends on the state of the other, even if they are separated by large distances. +- **Quantum Gate**: A basic quantum circuit operating on a small number of qubits. Quantum gates are the building blocks of quantum circuits, similar to classical logic gates in classical circuits. +- **X Gate (NOT Gate)**: A quantum gate that flips the state of a qubit. If a qubit is in the |0⟩ state, applying an X gate will change it to |1⟩, and vice versa. +- **H Gate (Hadamard Gate)**: A quantum gate that creates superposition. When applied to a qubit in state |0⟩ or |1⟩, it puts the qubit into an equal superposition of both states. +- **CX Gate (CNOT Gate)**: A two-qubit gate that flips the state of the second qubit (target) if the first qubit (control) is in state |1⟩. It is used to create entanglement. +- **Grover's Algorithm**: A quantum algorithm that searches an unsorted database or solves the search problem more efficiently than any classical algorithm. It provides a quadratic speedup over classical search algorithms. +- **Oracle**: A black-box function used in quantum algorithms to mark the correct answer. In Grover's algorithm, the oracle marks the state we are searching for. +- **Diffuser (Inversion about the Mean)**: A quantum operation used in Grover's algorithm to amplify the probability of the marked state. + +These explanations should help clarify the concepts and terms used in this tutorial.
