Quantum computing has immense potential to transform a plethora of industries. Leveraging knowledge of quantum mechanics, quantum computers perform computations more efficiently than classical computers (Kim, 2025). Classical computers represent data in bits, as either a 0 or 1, whereas quantum computers store data in qubits, which utilize the unique property of superposition. This quantum principle allows qubits to exist in multiple states concurrently until … Continue reading Technology – Tyler Nicastro
