Quantum computing works by using the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. It uses the unique properties of quantum bits (qubits) to store and process data in ways that no classical computer can. By utilizing the principles of entanglement and superposition, qubits can represent and store data in an exponentially larger number of states than classical bits. The potential of quantum computing is widely touted to revolutionize the computing power of modern computers, with applications ranging from cryptography to machine learning.
