Let's discuss the theoretical foundations of why quantum computers differ from classical systems instead of explaining them through the Bloch sphere. I'd like to focus on topics like scalability, the ability to perform parallel processing, and the principles of superposition. For example, while classical bits are either 0 or 1, how well can we understand the state of quantum bits? Or, which problems do quantum approaches offer advantages for? I'm curious about what you all know about this and what resources you'd recommend.
What are the fundamental differences between quantum computers and classical computers?

In comparing classical computers with quantum computers, both their operating principles and areas of application are important. While a classical bit can only take on a value of 0 or 1, a quantum bit (qubit) can exist in both states simultaneously—meaning it can be in superposition. This gives quantum computers the ability to perform parallel processing, far surpassing the performance of classical systems. For example, quantum computers can solve complex mathematical problems like Shor's algorithm much faster.
