This document provides an overview of quantum computers, including their history, workings, applications, and comparisons to classical computers. It discusses how quantum computers can perform computations using superposition and entanglement to analyze multiple states simultaneously. The document traces the origins of quantum computing to proposals by Yuri Manin in 1980 and Richard Feynman in 1981. It explains that while a 2-bit classical computer can only analyze one state at a time, a 2-qubit quantum computer can analyze all 4 possible states simultaneously. The document suggests quantum computers may be able to solve currently intractable problems involving enormous data more efficiently, with examples including finding distant planets, earlier disease detection, and improved drug development.
