Quantum computing - Wikipedia
It is widely believed that a quantum computer could perform some calculations exponentially faster than any classical computer. For example, a large-scale quantum computer could break some widely used public-key cryptographic schemes and aid physicists in performing physical simulations.

Quantum Computing Explained | NIST
These computers work by harnessing quantum physics — the strange, often counterintuitive laws that govern the universe at its smallest scales and coldest temperatures. Today’s quantum computers are rudimentary and error-prone.

What is quantum computing? - IBM
Quantum computers take advantage of quantum mechanics by replacing traditional binary bit circuits with quantum particles called quantum bits, or qubits. These particles behave differently from bits, exhibiting unique properties that can be described only with quantum mechanics.

How does a Quantum Computer Works? A Detailed Guide
Quantum Computers works on the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations in fundamentally different ways than classical computers. At the core of a Quantum Computer are quantum bits, or Qubits, which can exist simultaneously in multiple states due to superposition.

What Is Quantum Computing? - Caltech Science Exchange
Quantum computers share some properties with classical ones. For example, both types of computers usually have chips, circuits, and logic gates. Their operations are directed by algorithms (essentially sequential instructions), and they use a binary code of ones and zeros to represent information.

What Are Quantum Computers, and How Do They Work?
But what is a quantum computer, how is it different from the computers we use today, and how does it really work? Let’s break down this complex topic into bite-sized (or should that be byte-sized), understandable pieces.
