sets of technologies. Quantum computing is different from what's called classical computers in the sense that it is not binary, but it holds all possibilities open. So instead of programming a computer to be everything is yes or no and make decisions or run code, quantum computing has many so-called qubits, which could take on any value. And they're all tried simultaneously. So when you have a 4,000 qubit computer, you actually essentially have a super smart computer that can try all the permutations of 4,000 things. So imagine you're trying to still run an AI algorithm, or you're trying to in the case of stealing Bitcoins, you're trying to guess the password. So think of it as you're trying to guess the password, but you're trying all the permutations of all the possible bits of a password at the same time and outcomes the answer. So that's the power of quantum computing. And every time you add a bit, the computer doubles in its capabilities. So it's something we couldn't imagine (32/38)
