Quantum computing represents a new approach to computation that uses principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Unlike traditional computers, quantum systems use quantum bits, or qubits, to represent and manipulate information.
Quantum computing has the potential to address certain complex problems that are difficult for conventional computers. Researchers are exploring applications in optimization, scientific research, cryptography, materials science and artificial intelligence.
Although practical large-scale quantum computing is still developing, organizations are beginning to explore its potential impact. As the technology matures, businesses and technology professionals will need to understand both its opportunities and its limitations.
