How Does Quantum Computing Actually Work?

Imagine you have a coin that can be both heads and tails at the same time, this is like a qubit in quantum computing. In regular computers, bits are either 0 or 1, like a light switch being on or off. But with quantum computing, you get to use coins that can be in many states at once. This helps it solve big problems much faster.

Because these special coins (qubits) work together, they can do lots of calculations all at the same time, like having a whole room full of super-smart helpers working on your problem.
