    Quantum Computing: Harnessing Reality's Hidden Powers

    Best quote from Quantum Computing: Harnessing Reality's Hidden Powers

    “

    While classical computers use bits that are either 0 or 1, quantum computers use qubits that can be both 0 and 1 at the same time, literally harnessing the fundamental uncertainty of reality itself to process information.
