G06N 10/00 Quantum computing, i.e. information processing based on quantum-mechanical phenomena
Introduced: January 2019
Additional Content IPC
Quantum-mechanical phenomena covers quantum phenomena of superposition, coherence, decoherence, entanglement, nonlocality or teleportation.
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 5 subcodes exist in both systems.
1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
IPC defines codes here since 2022.
