Article preview. Quantum computers use the laws of quantum physics at very small scales to process information in ways that differ from classical computers. Current quantum computers are still rudimentary and error-prone, but more advanced versions could help with certain difficult problems in science, materials research, drug discovery and cybersecurity.
The NIST explainer describes basic ideas such as qubits, superposition and the difference between quantum and classical computing. It also emphasizes that quantum computers are not expected to replace ordinary computers, but may work alongside them for specialized tasks.
