What is Quantum Computing?

Quantum computing is a rapidly-emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for classical computers.

Today, IBM Quantum makes real quantum hardware — a tool scientists only began to imagine three decades ago — available to thousands of developers. Our engineers deliver ever-more-powerful superconducting quantum processors at regular intervals, building toward the quantum computing speed and capacity necessary to change the world.

These machines are very different from the classical computers that have been around for more than half a century. Here’s a primer on this transformative technology.
