Quantum computing has emerged as a revolutionary technology that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways classical computers cannot. Unlike traditional computers that use bits (0s and 1s), quantum computers utilize quantum bits or "qubits" that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, enabling them to solve complex problems exponentially faster.
