Quantum Computing Explained
Quantum computing is a revolutionary approach to computing that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of particles at the smallest scales—such as atoms and subatomic particles. While traditional computers use bits to represent information in binary code (0s and 1s), quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent 0, 1, or both simultaneously due to a phenomenon called superposition. This property allows quantum computers to perform certain tasks exponentially faster than classical computers, making them potentially game-changing in various fields.
