What is the defining characteristic of narrow AI (also known as 'weak' AI)?

• It displays intelligent behaviour in many different tasks

• It is able to display intelligent behaviour in just one particular task

• It does not exhibit any intelligent behaviour

• It exhibits artificial general intelligence similar to a human being

Moore's Law provides one of the reasons for finding alternatives to traditional modes of computation. What does Moore's Law state?

• Number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles about every two years

• Processor speeds double roughly every two years

• Size of transistors shrink by half every two years

• Cost of processor manufacture doubles every ten years

Qubits are the building blocks of Quantum Computing. How are qubits different from normal binary bits?

• Qubits can change their values more quickly than binary bits

• Qubits can store more data than binary bits

• Qubits can represent more values than just 0 or 1

• Qubits can be in more than one state at the same time

What feature of quantum computing is this describing?

"any two (or more) quantum states can be added together and the result will be another valid quantum state; and conversely, that every quantum state can be represented as a sum of two or more other distinct states."

• Entanglement
