Every week on Technology Untangled, we try and take a tech innovation and make it understandable and relevant to the regular organization.

But with quantum computing, that's a little tricky.

Once you've load the data, you've got to let it go out across all its universities,

do the calculation, and only when it's done, can you look at it and you've destroyed it at

that point, but you've hopefully got the answer that you wanted. Yeah, so quantum computing

research is making headlines and seeing record investment. So

naturally, organizations want to know what all the fuss is about. But when you try and make sense

of what's going on, you run headlong into pure maths and complex quantum physics.

In today's episode, we enter the multiverse of quantum computing, and we're going to

be covering the key concepts that you need to know in order to answer a few important questions.

What is the important difference between a quantum computer and a classical computer?

Do quantum computers really exist? And why are they so hard to build?

What would you need to use a quantum computer for anyway? And which part of all of this is relevant

to the average organisation? All that and absolutely nothing more. Believe me, that is enough as it is. I'm Michael Bird,

and this is Technology Untangled. Quantum Computing is a challenge to wrap your head around.

And for the purposes of this episode, and mainly for my benefit, we are going to need to

over simplify some of those concepts.

So any scientists listening, cover your ears.

With that said, let's kick off with our first important question.

What are quantum computers?

And how do they differ from classical computers?

So quantum computers leverage the properties of entanglement and superposition
