qubits.

They can hold multiple values at the same time where our traditional "bits" of today can only hold ... well 1-bit of information.

That isn't how the superposition of qubits works

They are in any state inclusively between 0 and 1 until they are observed in which case they immediately "snap" to a 0 or 1.

Quantum computers will only be useful for certain kinds of algorithms/processing because of the tunneling effect. Our home computers will still operate the way they do now.

I could have sworn that they hold both states.

This is the only video on YouTube that actually explains it well:

Every other video is all "quantum computers are the future, qubits are literally jesus's neurons incarnate" and all kinds of misinformation

Thank you for that video! Yeah that was a very good explanation in my opinion.

They can transmit and receive info faster than light.

They can simulate quantum systems much faster than traditional computers
