Quantum computing is an emerging form of computing that uses the rules of quantum physics to process information in ways that are far different from how computers do it now. Quantum computing uses quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in superpositions of states and get entangled with each other, which is different from classical computing, which uses a bit that represents binary values (0 or 1). These characteristics allow quantum devices to execute parallel computations, enabling significant speedups for specific categories of problems considered intractable for classical machines.
