This could be the biggest leap in computing since the computer itself, and every major technology company wants it. But what exactly is a quantum computer anyway? | Quartz

A quantum computer is an advanced type of computer that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in a fundamentally different way from classical computers. Here’s a brief overview: Key Concepts: • Qubits: Unlike classical computers that use bits (0s and 1s), quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits. A qubit can exist in a state of 0, 1, or both simultaneously due to a property called superposition. • Superposition: This allows quantum computers to perform many ca
