What are
Quantum Computers?
A quantum computer is a computer that makes direct use of
distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena to perform
operations on data.
In a classical (or
conventional) computer, the amount of data is measured by
bits; in a quantum computer, the data is measured by
qubits.
The Bloch sphere is a representation of a
qubit, the fundamental building block of quantum
computers.

Wikipedia
The basic principle of
quantum computation is that the quantum properties of
particles can be used to represent and structure data, and
that quantum mechanisms can be devised and built to
perform operations with these data.
Why Quantum
Computers?
Researchers have discovered that several classes of
computational problems can be solved in ways that take
advantage of quantum parallelism. WhipTech.com
