Quantum computers leverage another quantum phenomenon called entanglement, where the state of one qubit can be correlated with the state of another qubit, regardless of the distance between them. This allows quantum computers to perform certain computations much faster than classical computers.
Cryptography:
Quantum computers have the potential to break many existing cryptographic schemes, such as RSA and ECC, which rely on the difficulty of certain mathematical problems. Quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms are being developed to withstand attacks from quantum computers.
Machine Learning:
Quantum computers have the potential to accelerate certain machine learning algorithms, such as optimization and pattern recognition tasks. Quantum machine learning is an active area of research with the aim of developing algorithms that can take advantage of quantum properties to outperform their classical counterparts.
