2. What is Quantum
Computing?
• Quantum computing is a cutting-edge field
that utilizes the principles of quantum
mechanics to perform complex
computations.
• Unlike classical computers that use bits,
quantum computers use quantum bits or
qubits, which can exist in multiple states
simultaneously.
• Quantum computers can solve certain
problems much faster than classical
computers.
3. How is Quantum
Computing Done?
In a classical computer, information is stored in bits, which
can be either 0 or 1. In a quantum computer, information is
stored in qubits, which can be both 0 and 1 at the same
time which is a property of a area of quantum computing
known as “Quantum Mechanics”.
This property of quantum mechanics, known as
superposition, allows quantum computers to perform
calculations that are impossible for classical computers.
