<human>:  What is quantum computing and how does it work?
<bot>: Quantum computing is a form of computing that harnesses the potential of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. It works by manipulating quantum bits, which can exist in two states simultaneously. This allows the quantum computer to store and process information differently than conventional computers, using a phenomenon called quantum entanglement. The power of quantum computing derives from its ability to take advantage of the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics to process certain tasks much faster than classical computers.
