    Computer science

    Computer science

    Computer science is the academic discipline that studies computation, algorithms, and information processes in both theory and practice. Emerging as an independent field in the early 1960s, it encompasses subfields from theoretical foundations and programming languages to artificial intelligence, computer architecture, and human–computer interaction.

    Quantum Computing

    Quantum Computing

    Quantum computing is a type of computation that harnesses the collective properties of quantum states, such as superposition, interference, and entanglement, to perform calculations. The devices that perform quantum computations are known as quantum computers. They are believed to be able to solve certain computational problems, such as integer factorization, substantially faster than classical computers.
