The Basic Unit of Information
30:33 - 38:26 (07:53)
In this podcast, the speaker explains the concept of the 'bit' and how it's essential for quantum computing to exploit phenomena like superposition, amplitudes, and interference to solve problems faster than we know how to solve them otherwise.

Quantum Computing
Summary
The way a quantum computer works is not simply by trying every possible answer in parallel. A quantum computer is a computer that tries to exploit phenomena such as superposition, amplitudes, and interference to solve certain problems much faster than traditional computers.
