(Pause mouse over this link for pop-up hint) Quantum Computers ExplainedImagine a computer so powerful it could solve problems in minutes that would take today's supercomputers years. Welcome to the world of quantum computing, where we leverage the rules of quantum physics. Unlike traditional computers using bits, quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously (superposition) and be interconnected (entanglement). This allows quantum computers to process vast amounts of information quickly. However, achieving this requires controlling atoms at near absolute zero temperatures, and quantum systems are extremely sensitive to disturbances. Despite these challenges, prototype systems are already being developed, promising a revolutionary future for computing. Back to Favorites or BACK button |
