On January 14, 2005, Dr. Stan Gudder, the John Evans Professor of Mathematics at the Unversity of Denver, addressed the question, "Why can a quantum computer do things that an ordinary computer can not?"

As Dr. Gudder described it: "The answer to the question in the title is that quantum computers can exploit the principles of quantum mechancis as resources for computation. Two of these resources are quantum superposition and quantum entaglement. These two principles can provide an exponential speedup in quantum algorithms. Although we shall not have time to discuss these principles here we shall consider a simple example of a component of a quantum computer that is not available for ordinary computers. This component is called a square root of NOT gate."
