Quantum computers are an exciting new technology which much of the industry involved in computing is expecting to massively increase our potential computing powers.

All computers currently work by recording data through the use of 1’s and 0’s. Due to this, you have one ultimate limitation on the amount of data you can store, which is the size of the ones and zeros. If you look back to when computers were first discovered, these two basic states of 1’s and 0’s was visible to the eye, but since then this has changed. Currently, the ones and zeros are incredibly small, but we still have much further to go. A quantum processor will be a big jump forward in our capabilities, as with one of these, the ones and zeros are actually subatomic particles. By using subatomic particles, you can make the amount of data able to be stored in a certain space far greater than a typical CPU.
