Classical computing

Classical computing refers to the traditional method of processing information using bits, which represent data as 0s or 1s. These bits are manipulated by algorithms to perform calculations, run programs, and execute tasks on devices like computers and smartphones. Classical computers rely on silicon-based hardware and follow the principles of classical physics. They are effective for a wide range of applications, from word processing to complex simulations. Despite their power, classical computers struggle with certain problems, such as factoring large numbers, where emerging technologies like quantum computing may offer advantages.
