quantum computing

Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform calculations. It is designed to solve complex problems that are intractable for classical computers.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news due to significant investment in the sector and growing concerns that its development poses an imminent threat to current encryption standards like blockchain.
