What is quantum computing?

Quantum computing is a technology that uses the laws of
quantum mechanics to solve problems that are too complex
for an average computer. IBM Quantum makes real quantum
hardware which is a tool that scientists only began to imagine
three decades ago. Engineers are delivering a powerful
superconducting quantum processors at a regular interval
building towards a necessary quantum computing speed and
capacity to change the world.

Why do we need quantum computers?

For certain problems, super computers aren't so super. When
scientists and engineers encounter difficult problems, they
turn to supercomputers. These are large computers with thousands
of classical CPU and GPU cores. However even supercomputers
struggle to solve certain problems. When supercomputer fails
it was most likely asked a question with high degree of complexity.
Complex problems are problems with many various variables interacting
in complex ways.

Why are quantum computers faster?

A supercomputer might be great at sorting
database of protein sequences. But it will
struggle to see the subtle patterns in the
data to determine how proteins those behave.
On the other hand, quantum algorithms take a
new approach to these sort of complex problems
--which is creating multidimensional spaces where
the patterns linking individual data points emerge.
