Quantum computing is an emerging field of study that leverages the principles of

quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot.


Unlike traditional bits, which represent either a 0 or a 1, quantum bits (qubits)
can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to a property known as
superposition.

Another key concept in quantum computing is entanglement, which allows qubits to be


correlated with one another, enabling faster and more complex calculations. This
unique capability gives quantum computers the potential to solve certain problems,
such as factoring large numbers and simulating molecular structures, exponentially
faster than classical computers.

Despite its promise, quantum computing faces significant challenges. Maintaining


qubit stability (coherence) and minimizing errors caused by quantum decoherence are
major obstacles. Researchers are exploring various quantum error correction
techniques and hardware improvements to make quantum computers more viable.

As technology advances, quantum computing is expected to revolutionize fields such


as cryptography, materials science, and artificial intelligence, potentially
leading to breakthroughs that were previously thought impossible.
