insights INSIGHT
Quantum Computing's Power
Quantum computing harnesses the vast information content of the universe, going beyond classical bits.
It solves problems deemed impossible for even the largest supercomputers, especially in chemistry.
insights INSIGHT
Quantum's Fragility
Quantum computing's power comes from its fragility due to the no-cloning theorem.
This theorem states that quantum information, unlike classical bits, cannot be copied, making error management difficult.
insights INSIGHT
Classical World Bias
The classical world appears classical because our brains evolved to process easily copied information.
Quantum information decays faster, and our brains, focused on survival, prioritize robust classical data.
