<b>What is quantum computing?</b> A quantum computer takes advantage of the characteristics of quantum particles (<i>qubits</i>), including superposition of states, constructive and destructive interference, and entanglement. With these properties, a new computational paradigm promises greater parallelization to solve complex problems that cannot be managed by classical computing systems. | <b>What is quantum computing?</b> A quantum computer takes advantage of the characteristics of quantum particles (<i>qubits</i>), including superposition of states, constructive and destructive interference, and entanglement.
