What quantum computers are, and why they are attracting so much interest.
Most people have already heard the term “quantum computer.” There has been a lot of interest in quantum computers over the last few years, with great expectations that they will dramatically change the world soon. These days, we use computers all the time in our daily lives. Personal computers and smartphones are obvious computers, but there are many more computers hidden in plain sight around us in cars, televisions, microwave ovens, air conditioners, and even in rice cookers. Computers enrich our lives and make them more convenient. Quantum computers operate on completely different principles to the computers we are using now. This report explains what quantum computers are, and why they are attracting so much interest.
