Quantum computation is one of the most promising innovations of our time. Unlike traditional computers, which process information using bits (0 and 1), quantum computers exploit the laws of quantum mechanics. We will explore what “quantum thinking” means, why this new paradigm can revolutionize cybersecurity, scientific research and artificial intelligence, and what challenges remain. A chance to find out how the future of computing is being written today, on the border between science and technology.
