quantum computing
At its core, quantum computing harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to process and store information in quantum bits, or qubits. Unlike classical bits, which can only exist in a state of 0 or 1, qubits can exist in a superposition of both states simultaneously, exponentially increasing the computational capacity. Furthermore, qubits can also exhibit entanglement, where the state of one qubit is intrinsically linked to the state of another, enabling instantaneous communication over vast distances.
