Quantum computing. What is it, current situation and future prospects

Quantum computing is different from computing classical paradigm  computing. The main novelty is the use of qubits, which can have the state 1 and 0 at the same time. Compared to classical computing bits, which can only take one of the values ​​in each moment.

This exponentially increases the computational capacity, since much less qubits are required to represent and / or process the information.

In classical computing, to double the computing power it is necessary to double the number of the processors’ transistors. In Quantum Computing, to double the calculation capacity, it is enough to add 1 single qubit, which places us before a scenario of exponential growth.

And the time to solve exponential problems is significantly reduced:
