<human>:  Can you explain what quantum computing is?
<bot>: Quantum computing is a form of computing which is based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It makes use of quantum bits—or “qubits”—instead of traditional bits. Qubits are particles that can exist in multiple states at the same time and can interact with each other in ways that traditional bits cannot. This allows quantum computers to compute much faster than traditional computers and can open doors to a variety of new applications, such as AI and cryptography.
