Quantum correlations describe the non-classical relationships between quantum systems, where the state of one system instantaneously influences the state of another, regardless of distance. These phenomena challenge classical intuitions and are central to quantum mechanics, playing a crucial role in technologies like quantum computing and quantum cryptography.

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that describes the physical properties of nature at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It introduces concepts like wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement, which challenge classical intuitions about the behavior of matter and energy.

Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot, using qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This allows for potentially exponential increases in computing power, enabling solutions to complex problems in fields like cryptography, optimization, and materials science.

Quantum cryptography leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to create secure communication channels that are theoretically immune to eavesdropping, primarily through quantum key distribution (QKD). It fundamentally relies on the behavior of quantum particles, such as entanglement and superposition, to detect any interception attempts by an adversary.
