An Overview of Quantum Computing

The State of the Art in Computers

Ranked #26 in Quantum Computing

Quantum computing uses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to perform it's calculations. The computational speed would be orders of magnitude greater than present day digital computers that we have become used to using whether it be a large scale mainframe or a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. The digital computer uses bits which are a binary form of utilizing information in one of two states - either a 1 or a 0.
