**Explain quantum computing in simple terms. Maximum 200 words**  
Quantum computing harnesses the weird world of quantum mechanics to solve problems classical computers can't. Unlike regular bits (0 or 1), quantum bits or "qubits" can be 0, 1, or both at once—thanks to superposition. This lets quantum computers explore many possibilities simultaneously.

Entanglement links qubits so the state of one instantly affects another, even far apart, speeding up calculations. But qubits are fragile; noise disrupts them, causing errors.

Quantum computers excel at tasks like factoring large numbers (threatening encryption), simulating molecules for drug discovery, optimizing logistics, and machine learning. They're not for everyday tasks yet—too error-prone and expensive.

Think of it like searching a huge maze: classical computers check one path at a time; quantum ones check many in parallel. Companies like IBM, Google, and Rigetti are building them, but "quantum supremacy" (outperforming classical on specific tasks) is here, full utility awaits better error correction.

**Generate a haiku about AI.**  
Circuits hum with thought,  
Dreams in silicon awaken,  
Future's mind unfolds.
