Why Quantum Computers Are Faster — the Answer Isn't Parallelism

A qubit isn't a bit with randomness — it's a rotating arrow on a sphere. A quantum gate is a rotation of that arrow. A quantum algorithm is one global transformation that reshapes the whole solution landscape. The headline everyone has read in a press release — "quantum computers try all possibilities in parallel" — is dangerously misleading. A measurement would just return one random answer anyway. So "parallel" on its own is useless. The actual trick is subtler, more beautiful, and the point o
