Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses the

principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations. 

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that 

describes the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels. 

Quantum computers are different from traditional computers in a number of ways.  

One key difference is that quantum computers can store information in qubits, 

which can be in a superposition of states, meaning that they can be both 0 and 1 at the same time.  

This allows quantum computers to perform calculations 

This allows quantum computers to perform calculations 

that would be impossible for traditional computers.
