Quantum computation

Quantum computation is a type of computer science. It uses particles like atoms and electrons that have special properties, called quantum properties, to store and process information. It helps computers solve problems faster and make better decisions than normal computers can. For example, if you wanted to calculate the best way to get from one city to another, a quantum computer can use quantum properties to quickly do the calculations and show you the best route.
