QA
Quality Assurance. The process of making sure a product or service actually works as advertised. Quality assurance is like the last line of defense against user complaints and 1-star reviews.
Quantum Computing
The sci-fi-level tech that makes today’s computers look like calculators. Quantum computing uses qubits to solve complex problems faster than you can say “algorithm.”
Quantum Cryptography
The ultra-secure way to encrypt data using quantum principles, where even eavesdropping leaves a trace. Quantum cryptography is the answer to making your data virtually unbreakable.
Quantum Supremacy
The point at which a quantum computer can solve a problem faster than a classical computer ever could. Quantum supremacy is the moment quantum says, “Catch me if you can” to conventional computing.
Query
A search, request, or question you ask a database or search engine. A query is how you cut through data to get exactly what you’re after, without the fluff.
Questionnaire
A set of questions used to collect data, opinions, or feedback from people. A questionnaire is like a survey but often more in-depth, designed to dig out all the juicy details you need.
