Entanglement in Quantum Computing
In quantum computing, the interplay of quantum superposition and entanglement gives rise to a diverse spectrum of algorithms that have no classical analogs. At one end, we have algorithms that go straight to the heart of entanglement to encrypt tamper-proof messages. (We’ll review this method in Chapter 9, Alice in Quantumland—Quantum Cryptography.) On the other end, in quantum search, where our chief concern is canceling qubelet combinations in the mega-qubit, entanglement couples quantum states, causing them to gyrate in unintended ways, rendering the superposition-of-all-states-at-once ineffective. So, in the next section, we investigate how to modify our quantum programs to unravel these states.
