Quantum supremacy
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_s…
“In quantum computing, quantum supremacy or quantum advantage is the goal of demonstrating that a programmable quantum device can solve a problem that no classical computer can solve in any feasible amount of time (irrespective of the

2/"usefulness of the problem).”

“Classical computers manipulate ones and zeroes to crunch through operations, but quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits.”

3/“Just like classical computers, quantum computers use ones and zeros, but qubits have a third state called “superposition” that allows them to represent a one or a zero at the same time. Instead of analysing a one or a zero sequentially, superposition allows two qubits in

4/"superposition to represent four scenarios at the same time. Therefore, the time it takes to crunch a data set is significantly reduced.”
