Thread: quantum computing

what exactly is quantum computing, and will it create any new and exciting technology if scientists ever find a useful application for quantum computing

Quantum computing is a new hardware technology that takes advantage of quantum entanglement. It uses a multi-state q-bit rather than just an on/off bit as its fundamental unit of storage. This multi-state allows such an amazingly fast processor as it renders all encryption techniques useless. The technology creates computing power several magnitudes higher than anything possible built on a 2-state machine.
