What is a quantum computer?

A quantum computer is a computer that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. A quantum computer operates on qubits, which are units of quantum information.

Traditional computers use bits, which are units of information that can have a value of either 0 or 1. A qubit can represent a fraction of a bit, and can be in multiple states simultaneously. This allows quantum computers to perform several calculations at once.

Quantum computers are still in development, but they have the potential to perform certain calculations much faster than …
