quantum computing
Superposition-based data processing
Quantum computing is a form of computation that exploits quantum mechanical phenomena—superposition, entanglement, and interference—to process information in ways classical computers cannot.
Where traditional computers use bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously.
The technology promises exponential speedups for certain problems: cryptography, drug discovery, optimization.
Most quantum computers remain experimental, requiring extreme cold and isolation from environmental noise.
Quantum computing could break current encryption methods within decades.
