Quantum computers and supercomputers have different ways of processing information, each with its own strengths and limitations.In quantum computing, the building block is the qubit, or quantum bit. Supercomputers use traditional bits and parallel processing with multiple processors to handle different parts of a problem at once. The difference in computation in quantum computers and supercomputers is grounded on the idea that the former use continuous variables (CV) as their base element, while the latter employ discrete values (DV). Read a detailed explanation of approaches to working with DV and CV here.Quantum computers are great at solving certain problems faster, such as optimization and simulation tasks like drug design or supply chain optimization. Supercomputers excel at data-intensive tasks, like analyzing large datasets, pattern recognition, or modeling complex systems commonly used in weather forecasting, scientific research, and military simulations.However, both quantum computers and supercomputers have their barriers.
