Quantum computing in a nutshell

The feature that distinguishes quantum computing architecture from traditional architecture (also known as von Neumann architecture) is the use of the effects of quantum mechanics (in particular, the superposition and entanglement of states) for computational purposes. The goal that quantum computing aims to achieve is to be able to introduce drastic reductions in execution times and in the resources needed to perform computational activities, by adopting a programming model that is substantially different from a traditional one.

In this sense, instead of the traditional bit, quantum computing introduces the qbit. Despite the similarities existing between the two information storage units, the qbit operating ...
