  • describe a qubit and understand how it differs from a bit in classical computing
  • explain how a two-qubit CNOT gate can generate entanglement between two qubits
  • derive the output qubits of a quantum circuit given the input qubits
  • describe different ways quantum computing is being implemented in practice.
