How the CNOT Gate Turns Qubits Into Entangled Pairs
Multi-qubit gates, like the CNOT gate, are fundamental to quantum computing for creating entanglement, where qubit states are correlated and cannot be described independently. The CNOT gate's conditional operation, flipping a target qubit only if the control qubit is in the |1⟩ state, is the key mechanism for generating these entangled states, such as Bell and GHZ states.

Quantum Entanglement and QKD: Provable Security Through Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) offers provable security for communication by leveraging quantum mechanics, particularly entanglement, to detect eavesdropping. Unlike classical encryption, QKD's security is rooted in fundamental physical laws, not computational difficulty.
