Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is a new technology that uses quantum physics to address issues that are too difficult for traditional computers to solve.

Quantum computing is a branch of computing that focuses on developing computer technology based on quantum theory's concepts (which explains the behaviour of energy and material on the atomic and subatomic levels). Computers nowadays can only encode data in bits with values of 1 or 0, severely limiting their capabilities.

• Quantum computing is the study of how to leverage quantum physics phenomena to generate novel computing methods.
• Qubits are the building blocks of quantum computing.
• Unlike a regular computer bit, which can only be 0 or 1, a qubit can be either one or a superposition of both.
• Unlike classical computers, where adding more transistors increases power linearly, the power of quantum computers grows exponentially as the number of qubits increases.
• Quantum computing, on the other hand, makes use of quantum bits, also known as qubits.
