Multi-Qubit Superposition: The Mega-Qubit

Controlling randomness is, without doubt, an essential ingredient for quantum computing. But quantum computing offers an even more compelling case for reinventing computing. It gives us a way to deal with the entire solution space as a single unit. This may sound intimidating, but we’ll learn that to think about the entire solution space at once, we must focus on the characteristics a solution obeys rather than on the individual solutions themselves. So, before designing quantum algorithms that find a solution to a system of Boolean expressions, we need to first get comfortable with this shift in mindset.
