Without a doubt and in the world of technology, innovation is a constant. Although we, as consumers, are just about wrapping our collective heads around artificial intelligence, AI, experts are already looking beyond AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantum computing is a ground-breaking development that promises to reshape the future of computing and solve complex problems previously deemed unsolvable. This article is a brief primer on quantum computing. We will outline what it is, how it works, and why it’s an important development that holds immense potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core, quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in a radically different way from classical computing. By way of context, and according to BYJU\u2019S<\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nQuantum mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and light on a subatomic and atomic level. It attempts to explain the properties of atoms and molecules and their fundamental particles like protons, neutrons, electrons, gluons, and quarks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Hence, while classical computers use bits, which can represent either a 0 or a 1, quantum computers employ quantum bits or qubits. These qubits have the unique property of existing in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to a phenomenon called superposition, which in turn facilitates considerably more complex computations and calculations simultaneously and considerably faster than just what classical digital computers can do. The videos below further explain quantum computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
