quantum computing

Definition of quantum computing:

• The use of quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. Computers that perform quantum computations are known as quantum computers. Quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum physics and exploits the ability of subatomic particles to exist in two states simultaneously (for example, 1 and 0), increasing exponentially how much data can be encoded (as qubits) and thus the potential computational power.
