      What is Classical Parallelism?

      Introduction to Quantum Computing

      classical parallelism

      For N bits, there are 2N  possible classical states. However, a classical computer can represent only one of these N-bit states at a time. Processing multiple N-bit states can either be performed sequentially in time or in parallel using additional copies of the hardware. This is classical parallelism.
