Classical computers represent information using bits. Quantum computers use quantum states and algorithms to approach certain problems differently. The important question is which problems those methods can solve efficiently.

What is quantum computing? Now before I can answer this question, we must first define what classical computing or binary computing is. So classical computers are the computers we use today. Information on these devices is stored in bits represented logically by either a zero, meaning off, or one, meaning on. And as powerful as these classical computers have become, there are challenges that they will never be able to solve. And this is where quantum computers come in.
