Maybe an example of what it can do will help. If you try to solve a puzzle maze, you sort of follow one path at a time until you find a way out.

The quantum computer will try every possibility instantaneously and provide an answer (well, a probability for the most likely answer)..... instantly.

Will also render all current computer password algorithms useless since it can test every possibility at one time- except for quantum encryption - For more info look for "BB84").

Truly amazing stuff.
