Instead of binary bits used in classical computing, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits.

These qubits are subatomic particles that can use the properties of quantum mechanics to represent and process vast amounts of data.

A quantum processor manipulates qubits in order to complete tasks.

The development of quantum processors still faces significant practical challenges.
