If you’re still perplexed by what, exactly, quantum computing is, you’re not alone. Something about computers without transistors that can deal with not just zeros and ones but something in between, or both. The basic gist is that today’s computers store all information stored as either a one or a zero. In quantum computing, there is the notion of a qubit which can be a one or a zero or both at once. Somehow that means that the computer can use and manipulate all combinations of those bits simultaneously.
