Quantum computing is a cutting-edge field of study that utilizes the principles of
quantum mechanics to perform operations on data. Unlike classical computers that use bits as the basic unit of information, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously thanks to a phenomenon called superposition. This allows quantum computers to process a vast amount of information simultaneously, potentially solving complex problems much faster than classical computers. However, quantum computing is still in its infancy, facing significant challenges such as qubit stability and error correction.
