I understand that a computer chip is a bunch of on/off switches. How can you make a switch that is both on and off and how does that help you with calculations?
In: Engineering
the (likely) way oversimplified answer is….
regular computers take an input then calculate the ouput
quantum computers are basically computing all the possible outputs at the same time based on all of the possible inputs.
regular computer would play out all of the possible scenarios individually using a lot of processing, while a quantum computer is essentially playing them out all at once since the qubit is representing both the 0 and 1 simultaneously along all of the possible outcomes.
