This is about quantum computers as they appear in the 4005 setting. For general information about the subject, see Wikipedia's article on Quantum computing

In the 4005 setting, quantum computers are moderately affordable and quite commonplace, and use quantum bits (known in shorthand as qubits) to process vast amounts of data that classical bits simply could not process in feasible time spans. Quantum processors are typically used in solving optimisation problems that involve large amounts of data, such as bugfixing complex AI, finding optimal search engine results, calculating transportation schedules, and so fourth.

Quantum computers are typically built to operate in conjunction with classical computers that perform functions more suited to classical bits.
