Quantum Computing: Myths and Misconceptions

via Science Museum UK

The reason it would take so long is that classical computers encode information in the form of bits, which can take the value of 1 or 0 (think of them as the currency of on/off switches that ultimately control how a computer works).

However, quantum computers are based on ‘qubits’, which can represent both a 1 and a 0 at the same time (quantum mechanics refer to ‘superposition,’ where they are in states that are neither zero or one).
