Understanding the concept of quantum physics lays the foundation for distinguishing how quantum computers differ from classical ones. Unlike the binary logic used by classical computers, where computation is confined to zeros and ones, quantum computers leverage a state known as superposition, which allows for simultaneous existence of zeroes and ones. By Rich Tran and Franz Klein.
Further amplifying this power is a phenomenon called entanglement, where qubits are closely linked to enable simultaneous manipulation of all states. To put it simply, entanglement enables us to examine the resources of a system concurrently, thereby significantly enhancing the efficiency of traditional computers for a range of potentially valuable tasks.
