A quantum algorithm is a step-by-step procedure, designed to be executed on a quantum computer, that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems more efficiently than classical algorithms. Quantum algorithms leverage unique quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, which allow for complex calculations to be performed in parallel and enable the exploration of vast solution spaces more rapidly.
