Quantum vs. Classical Computing: What’s the Big Deal?

We’ve all heard the hype. Quantum computers will solve everything from climate change to your relationship problems (okay, maybe not that last one). But what is quantum computing, how is it different from classical computing, and why is everyone so excited? In this post, we’ll be diving into what makes quantum computing different from the classical kind you know and love, where each excels, and why it’s likely to play a key role in shaping our f…

Quantum processing unit (QPU)

A quantum processing unit (QPU) represents a groundbreaking advancement in computing technology, leveraging the unique principles of quantum mechanics to process data in ways traditional processors cannot. Unlike classical computers, which use bits as the smallest unit of information, QPUs utilize qubits, enabling them to perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds. As the field of quantum computing evolves, understanding the function a…
