Innovations On Quantum Computing
Quantum
physics has defied logic since the atom was first studied within the early 20th century. It seems
atoms don't follow the normal rules of physics. Quantum particles can move forward or backward in time, exist in two places directly and even “teleport.” It’s these strange behaviours that quantum computers aim to use to their advantage.
Classical computers manipulate ones and zeroes to crunch through operations, but quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits. Just like classical computers, quantum computers use ones and zeros, but qubits have a 3rd state called “superposition” that permits them to represent a 1 or a zero at the same time. Instead of analysing a one or a zero sequentially, superposition allows two qubits in superposition to represent four scenarios at the same time. Therefore, the time it takes to crunch a knowledge set is significantly reduced.
Every day we create volumes of data. In order to adequately process it all to extract meaning from it, we require far more computing power. That’s where quantum computers step in to save lots of the day.
Quantum computers can solve problems that are impossible or would take a standard computer an impractical amount of your time (a billion years) to unravel
