<human>:  How does quantum computing work?
<bot>: Quantum computing works by using quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. This allows quantum computers to be much faster and more efficient at certain computations compared to traditional computers. Quantum computing relies on the manipulation of qubits - units of information that can exist in multiple states at any given time - in order to perform calculations and solve problems. By using quantum effects, a quantum computer can process multiple states simultaneously, allowing it to carry out complex computations in a fraction of the time of a classical computer.
