Quantum parallelism is a fundamental feature of quantum computing where a quantum system can simultaneously evaluate multiple possibilities due to superposition. This capability allows quantum computers to solve certain problems exponentially faster than classical computers by processing vast amounts of information in parallel.

fundamental feature

Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot, using qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This allows for potentially exponential increases in computing power, enabling solutions to complex problems in fields like cryptography, optimization, and materials science.

simultaneously evaluate multiple possibilities

Superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics where a quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously until it is measured. This principle leads to the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, where the act of measurement collapses the system into one of the possible states.
