Quantum Computing in 60 seconds

Discover what makes quantum computers very different and a lot more powerful than the computer you use every day.

This video was part of QUANTUM: The Exhibition, a traveling 4,000 square foot, bilingual exhibition featuring interactive activities, games and videos to engage visitors of all ages in core quantum concepts from superposition to entanglement and how they’re shaping the technologies of our future.

I would like to see some information that gets into a little more detail about what process (if any) in quantum computing is analogous to the logic circuits of standard computing. As I understand it, normal computer circuits amount to electrical versions of mechanical switches which have been arranged to perform simple logical operations like AND, OR, NOT etc. These in turn are arranged to perform more complex operations. A computer could carry out identical operations with mechanical switches, albeit at a snail's pace. The binary nature of a computer bit is essential in constructing such logic gates. How on earth a quantum bit is able, then, to conduct logical operations of any sort is a tantalizing mystery to me, and I have never seen or read anything that addresses this. Thanks.

It would be wonderful if even more people saw your exhibit, tell me what you think of this quantum computing idea/note, if you think it has merit pass it along to engineers and scientists. The idea is public domain. I'm Treon Verdery.
note/idea:
thanks for your video, it prompted me to think of this note:
a fun thing to do with quantum computing is related to spin, and angular momentum, I’ve read its kind of math metaphorical to compare newtonian spinning bike wheels to quantum spin, I saw a video where a guy had two bike wheels on an axle, on a rope, where he could spin them same direction or opposite directions, spinning same direction they turned horizontal and had precession, they had a particular spin, when the two were spinning same direction they omitted going horizontal and just went vertical, now with quantum entanglement or linkage of 18 photons to one other photon, or one electron, you can have all of them spin up, and the main one actualizes nonfractional spin up, then if you you have 9 spin up, and 9 opposite spin up they balance bigly, and perhaps the quantum actualized state of the photon is durably undecided or indeterminate (longer compute interval! Less unwanted environmental disruptability/stabler quantum computers!) along with perhaps causing increased compute time or computation resolution, “cylesishness” this could be a new third quantum bit besides up and opposite of up spin, so you get 3 factorial states, making quantum computing more effective per module. also, if fractional ratios like like 4:14 are resolvable or 7:9 then you can get like 2^18 bits, or something, per quantum superposition compute element, really heightening quantum computer capability.

How long until we all become mini Gods and the entire God system destroys the world?
