What Is Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is a model of computation that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations, as seen in the work of [[david-deutsch|David Deutsch]] and [[richard-feynman|Richard Feynman]]. It is based on the concept of qubits, the basic units of quantum information, that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, as described in the research of [[david-deutsch|David Deutsch]] and [[charles-bennett|Charles Bennett]]. Quantum computing is closely related to fields like quantum mechanics and computer science.
