Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics — superposition and entanglement — to process information in fundamentally new ways using quantum bits, or qubits.
Unlike classical bits that are either 0 or 1, a qubit can represent both states simultaneously, allowing certain problems to be solved exponentially faster than on classical machines.
A qubit can exist in a superposition of 0 and 1 at the same time. When multiple qubits become entangled, the state of one instantly correlates with another regardless of distance, giving quantum computers massive parallel processing capability.
Quantum gates manipulate qubit states to perform computation, and measurement collapses the qubit into a definite classical value.
Shor's algorithm can factor large numbers efficiently, threatening current RSA encryption. Grover's algorithm speeds up unstructured search. These demonstrate the theoretical advantage of quantum machines for specific problem classes.
