Miki: Quantum computers operate on the principles of quantum mechanics, which describes phenomena at extremely small scales, such as atoms and electrons.

By taking advantage of this and other quantum phenomena, quantum computers can process multiple possibilities simultaneously for certain types of calculations.

Using quantum technology to counter the threat of encryption being cracked When do you think quantum computers will become practical?

Even if we realize practical quantum computers, the types of calculations that quantum computers excel at are limited, so we’ll still have conventional computers.

I believe quantum computers will also be utilized in various situations in society and greatly change how we live.
