Let’s Begin…
Quantum computers could eventually outstrip the computational limits of classical computers. They rely on the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles, whose quantum states are incredibly fragile and easily destroyed— which is why this technology remains largely theoretical. How would quantum computers work, and are they really possible? Chiara Decaroli investigates.
Just like classical computers use bits to encode the information, quantum computers use qubits, or quantum bits. Why are quantum bits useful? What makes them special and more powerful compared to bits?
