QUANTUM COMPUTING

Quantum computing 

A quantum computer is a machine that harnesses some of the unique properties of quantum physics to solve problems that are too complex for regular computers and supercomputers. Quantum computing will be able to control the different physics in order to perform tasks that current digital computers can't.

Quantum

How it works 

Qubits

Bits are the basic units of information in computing where two distinct configurations can be measured in form 0s and 1s. Qubits form the basics of how computers work. Can be made from quantum mechanical systems that can have two states.

Entanglement 

It creates a correlation between two qubits. If two or more qubits are entangled, a change in one can impact the others. This will allow in solving complex problems far quicker than possible.

Superposition

Qubits can exist in either 0s and 1s or both. This is known as superposition whereby All combinations of information can exist at once. The ability to hold all possible configurations of information at once means that complex problems can be solved easier. 

Application of quantum computing 

Some applications of quantum computing include; 

Molecular modeling- it will help by providing new insights like how batteries operate or even how proteins work. This would help to revolutionize energy storage and medicine.

Weather forecasting- vast amounts of data and different variables are needed to predict weather. The current computers don't have the capability to predict weather with great accuracy. When quantum computing is used, it will boost the level of complexity with which we predict the weather.

Database searching- quantum computers can be used to store and search through massive amounts of data in less time that the current or traditional computers
