Want to speak quantum? ⚛️
Our Glossary breaks it down. From computing to cryptography.
It also shows how Europe is leading the way with the Quantum Europe Strategy: fuelling startup growth, transforming breakthrough science into real-world tech, and building a quantum-powered future.
Europe is ready to make the quantum leap. Are you?
The definition of 'Quan.tum cryp.to.gra.phy' with its phonetic pronunciation. The text reads: 'A science of exploiting quantum mechanics to perform cryptographic tasks, offering a higher level of security compared to classical cryptography.' The European Commission logo is on the bottom right corner.
The definition of 'Quan.tum me.chan.ics' with its phonetic pronunciation. The text reads: 'The fundamental physical theory that describes the behaviour of matter and of light.' The European Commission logo is on the bottom right corner.
The definition of 'Qu.bit' with its phonetic pronunciation. The text reads: 'The basic unit of quantum computing. Like a bit in classical computers, qubits store information but exist in many more states than 0 or 1.' The European Commission logo is on the bottom right corner.
The definition of 'Quantum computer' with its phonetic pronunciation. The text reads: 'A computer that harnesses the power of quantum mechanics using qubits to solve complex calculations.' The European Commission logo is on the bottom right corner.
