Q

QUANTUM COMPUTING: Computing using quantum effects, especially to solve untractable problems (like factorization or breaking cryptosystems). See also my computing page.

QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY: A system based on quantum- mechanical principles. Eavesdroppers alter the quantum state of the system and so are detected. Developed by Brassard and Bennett, only small laboratory demonstrations have been made.

QUASISPECIES: A fuzzy distributions of genotypes characterizing a population of quickly mutating organisms or molecules. [Manfred Eigen]
