Quantum Random Access Memory
Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM) is a theoretical type of memory that allows a quantum computer to access multiple memory locations simultaneously in superposition. Instead of retrieving one data element at a time, QRAM can query all relevant addresses in parallel, with the amplitudes encoding probabilities. It’s crucial for algorithms needing fast data lookup in quantum superposition, but no scalable physical implementation yet exists.
