The term quantum is from the 1610s, "one's share or portion," from Latin quantum (plural quanta) "as much as, so much as; how much? how far? how great an extent?" neuter singular of correlative pronominal adjective quantus "as much."

The field of quantum computing was initiated by the work of Paul Benioff and Yuri Manin in 1980, Richard Feynman in 1982, and David Deutsch in 1985. Quantum computers encode information as quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in makes direct use of distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement. The promise of quantum computing lies in the ability to solve certain problems significantly faster such as encryption, optimization, and other similar tasks. Quantum computing is the enabler of blockchain and AI.
