Quantum Computing

Quantum computing represents a radical departure from classical computing, based on the
principles of quantum theory, which explains the nature of energy and matter on the atomic and
subatomic levels. Quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent and store
information in both 0s and 1s simultaneously. This ability to be in multiple states simultaneously
means quantum computers can process a vast number of possibilities much faster than classical
computers.

Potential applications for quantum computing include drug discovery, optimization problems,
financial modeling, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, dramatically increasing the speed and
efficiency with which complex problems are solved.

Despite its potential, quantum computing is still in its infancy, with numerous technological
challenges to overcome, including issues of qubit coherence, error rates, and scalability.
Nevertheless, progress continues, and the first quantum revolution—bringing about technologies
such as quantum cryptography and quantum sensing—is already underway.
