The Power of Quantum Computers

Quantum computers, if they work as intended, will be exponentially more powerful than traditional computers. They can solve complex problems that are currently beyond the capabilities of classical computation. Quantum bits, or qubits, can exist in superpositions of both 0 and 1 simultaneously, enabling quantum computers to perform multiple calculations simultaneously. Entanglement is another key concept in quantum computing, where particles become intrinsically connected, so that observing one particle instantaneously determines the state of the other particle, regardless of the distance between them. Building practical quantum computers requires engineering advancements to scale up the number of qubits and improve their coherence and stability.
