A qubit is the fundamental unit of quantum information. Unlike a classical bit, which can be either 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in a state that is a linear combination of both. This property is called superposition. Mathematically, a qubit's state can be represented as:

Many real-world problems, such as supply chain management, financial modeling, and route optimization, involve finding the best solution among a vast number of possibilities. Quantum computing can provide significant speed-ups for solving these optimization problems using algorithms like the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and Grover's algorithm.
