Here we explore the information available in the "Core concepts" section of the Documentation site, to help explain how the platform can work for you.

After you've spent time getting started with the platform, or if you're just trying to refresh your memory after the Quantexa Academy, understanding these core concepts will make sure you hit the ground running.
