Can you explain the concept of quantum computing in layman's terms?

Quantum computing is a form of computing which uses quantum phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, to solve complex problems more quickly than traditional computers. It is based on the idea of using particles such as atoms or photons to store information rather than using the traditional binary 0s and 1s. Instead of the binary system, quantum computers use quantum bits or 'qubits' which can exist in more than one state at the same time. This allows for more complex calculations to be done in much shorter time frames than traditional computers.
