Quantum computing aims to achieve significant advancements in computational power by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics. Unlike classical computers that process data in binary form (0s and 1s), quantum computers utilize qubits, which can represent multiple states simultaneously. This capability enables quantum computers to perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds, solving problems currently infeasible for classical systems. Applications include cryptography, drug discovery, optimization problems, and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, quantum computing promises to revolutionize various fields through enhanced processing capabilities and innovative solutions.
