The Maryland Superconducting Quantum Computing group has a large experimental and theoretical effort to develop a quantum computer based on superconducting devices. A quantum computer uses quantum mechanics to do calculations. While ordinary computers use a system based on either zeros or ones, quantum computers would use a logical system that is based on zeros, ones or a simultaneous combination of both. This would theoretically allow a quantum computer to do certain calculations, like finding prime factors of a large number, exponentially faster than conventional computers. Personnel
