Quantum computers are advanced machines that use the rules of quantum physics to process information. They work differently from normal computers. Traditional computers use bits that are either 0 or 1. Quantum computers use qubits, which can be 0 and 1 at the same time. This allows them to handle very large and difficult calculations much faster.

Today, only large organizations, research labs, and universities use quantum computers. They are expensive and need special environments, such as very cold temperatures, to work properly. This makes them impossible to use at home.

In the future, quantum computers may help create new medicines, improve artificial intelligence, solve climate problems, and make better encryption systems. Scientists are still developing this technology, and it will take more time before it becomes available to the general public.

6G remains in the early research stage, and full public access is still far away, but progress continues at different speeds across regions. Developed countries lead the shift, as major tech hubs invest in early testing, government-backed programs, and industry partnerships. These countries plan to complete large-scale trials by 2026, which means researchers, telecom companies, and universities will refine the core features of 6G during this period. While this does not bring full commercial service, it builds the base for future deployment.

Developing countries move at a slower pace because they are still expanding 4G and stabilizing 5G. Their focus stays on building stronger digital infrastructure before shifting to early 6G work. By 2026, many of them will follow global research updates, start pilot projects in specific cities, and prepare policy frameworks, but everyday users will not see active 6G coverage.

Overall, by 2026, developed countries reach advanced trial phases, and developing countries prepare groundwork. The gap reflects differences in investment, technology access, and network readiness.
