Quantum computing is a new way of processing information that is based on the

principles of quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that deals with the behavior
of matter and energy at a very small scale, such as atoms and subatomic particles.

In classical computing, information is processed using bits, which can represent

either a 0 or a 1. In quantum computing, information is processed using quantum
bits, or qubits, which can exist in multiple states at the same time, known as
superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform certain calculations much
faster than classical computers.

Another important property of qubits is entanglement, which means that two qubits
can be linked in such a way that their states become correlated. This enables
quantum computers to perform certain operations in parallel, leading to even faster
computation.

Overall, quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize many fields, such as
cryptography, drug discovery, and optimization problems, by solving complex
problems that are currently beyond the capabilities of classical computers.
