Quantum Computing
Quantum Computing is an area of computing that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Unlike classical computers, which use bits as the smallest unit of data represented as either 0 or 1, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits. Qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition, enabling quantum computers to perform complex calculations at much higher speeds than traditional computers. Additionally, quantum entanglement allows qubits that are entangled to be correlated with one another, leading to enhanced computational capabilities. Quantum computing has the potential to solve certain types of problems—such as optimization, cryptography, and simulation of quantum systems—that are currently infeasible for classical computers.
