Quantum Computing: What It Means for CS Fundamentals

Quantum Computing: What It Means for CS Fundamentals Quantum computing uses qubits and quantum rules to tackle problems in a different way than classical computers. It does not replace ordinary PCs; it adds a new tool for hard tasks. For CS fundamentals, this means revisiting ideas like algorithms, data flow, and performance. Quantum devices rely on linear algebra and probability. Yet the core practice—define a problem, choose a method, check the result—remains familiar. ...
