A quantum voting system utilizing quantum superposition and entanglement for secure and private voting
Quantum Voting meets Blockchain!
🚀 Project Overview
Q-Vote simulates a secure voting process using quantum computing, with future plans for blockchain integration and a user-friendly web interface. This project uses Qiskit to simulate quantum voting and lays the groundwork for secure, private voting systems of the future.
