We have arrived to the part of the book where things are getting seriously big. You will soon learn about multi-qubit systems, that can store an exponential amount of information. You will learn how to work with them, correctly describing their states, transforming them with gates that can be applied to many qubits, and, finally, extracting information from them with different types of measurements.

You will also learn about some quantum algorithm that, albeit not being of much practical interest, will exemplify how superposition, entanglement and interference can be used to solve certain problems with a huge advantage over what is possible with classical computers.
