Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift from classical computing. While classical computers process information in binary bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) that can exist in multiple states simultaneously through superposition.
Quantum Superposition
A qubit can be 0, 1, or both simultaneously. This property allows quantum computers to process many calculations at once, making them exponentially faster than classical computers for certain problem types.
Quantum Entanglement
When qubits become entangled, the state of one instantly affects the other, regardless of distance. This enables quantum computers to solve certain optimization and cryptography problems that are practically impossible for classical machines.
