About the Glossary

The Quantum Computing Glossary is a collection of commonly used terms relevant to quantum computing. The term definitions are not set in stone and are subject to change.


The definitions in this glossary are largely based on personal experience. The goal is to provide common and unambiguous terms for concepts and NOT to provide exact definitions of these terms. We strive to keep improving the definitions and terms in the glossary to be correct in a broad spectrum. Please consider creating a pull request or opening an issue, if you find any ambiguity or wish to provide a definition.
