While classical computers use binary representations to encode information into bits, their quantum counterparts use the laws of physics to encode information in Q-Bits. There are many approaches toward designing such systems. You can, for instance, use microwave pulses to alter the spin momentum of an electron, to represent and store information.
The advent of quantum computing
Quantum superposition
As it turns out, this may allow us to leverage interesting quantum phenomena to represent operations that have no known classical counterpart. Operations such as quantum superposition, where two different quantum states may be added together to produce a third state, valid on its own. Hence, unlike its classical counterpart, a...
