The reason why a quantum computer can massively outperform a classical one is that it can run special algorithms which operate on quantum superpositions of the input values, and arrive at the final result in a much smaller number of steps compared to their classical counterpart.
In this episode of Quantum Computing Concepts, Professor Andrea Morello of UNSW Australia illustrates the power of quantum computers with an example of great practical use: the quantum search algorithm.
