Computers have steadily become smaller and more powerful over the past half-century, thanks to the miniaturization of transistors. But as ever-shrinking technology crosses the threshold into the atomic realm, the laws of quantum physics suddenly take hold. While this poses serious hurdles for classical computing, it opens incredible new possibilities in the realm of quantum computing. Classical computers use binary “bits” of ones and zeros. Quantum computers will encode such bits in physical systems where we can also harness the quantum mechanical properties and obtain a more powerful system of quantum bits, or qubits. Thanks to the amazing rules of quantum mechanics, qubits can be in a
