Quantum computing has received some recent investing interest over the past month thanks to Google's breakthrough in its Willow quantum computing chip. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is a much larger business with investments in quantum computing,

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional machines.

Quantum computing is reshaping the technological landscape, offering unprecedented computational power to solve complex problems that were once deemed unsolvable. As the field grows rapidly, understanding its basics and applications becomes increasingly important for researchers,
