Quantum computing is a form of computing technology that utilizes quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. It has the potential to solve extremely complex problems, with researchers in the field hoping to build computers that could exceed the power of conventional computers. Quantum computers achieve this by taking advantage of phenomena such as quantum entanglement, superposition, and interference, to process information in ways that classical computers cannot.
