  Quantum Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quantum got its start when executives and designers from IBM and Memorex came up with an idea for a 8" hard drive that would achieve decent performance without the cost or complexity of using a full closed-loop servo system (which was a difficult task before the advent of dedicated servo ICs and readily-available DSPs).
Quantum's first products were very popular; according to one of their historical documents, by 1982 they had a 25% share of the market.
Quantum decided to sell their hard drive division during this time; the division was acquired by Maxtor (which had been in trouble, but was revitalized by the success of the DiamondMax line and an investment by Hyundai).

 What is quantum computing? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
First proposed in the 1970s, quantum computing relies on quantum physics by taking advantage of certain quantum physics properties of atoms or nuclei that allow them to work together as quantum bits, or qubits, to be the computer's processor and memory.
A quantum computer can do an arbitrary reversible classical computation on all the numbers simultaneously, which a binary system cannot do, and also has some ability to produce interference between various different numbers.
Quantum computing is not well suited for tasks such as word processing and email, but it is ideal for tasks such as cryptography and modeling and indexing very large databases.
