How Classical, Super and Quantum Computers Work

Abstract

Computers are a big part of our daily lives. From school to offices to-home, we are all using computers.
You probably have a desktop or laptop computer in your house. You also probably have a cellphone in your house.
Believe it or not it's a computer.
However, you don’t have a super computer and definitely not a quantum computer.
In this presentation I'll explain how Classical computers, Super computers and Quantum computers work and compare them to one another.
