A quantum computer is a computer that exploits quantum mechanical phenomena.

On small
scales, physical matter exhibits properties of both particles and waves, and quantum
computing leverages this behavior using specialized hardware. Classical physics cannot
explain the operation of these quantum devices, and a scalable quantum computer could
perform some calculations exponentially faster[a] than any modern "classical" computer.
Theoretically a large-scale quantum computer could break widely used encryption schemes
and aid physicists in performing physical simulations; however, the current state of the art is
largely experimental and impractical, with several obstacles to useful applications.
