What You Need To Know About Quantum Computing

November 22, 2018 Posted by Jane Smith Editorial No Comments

Richard Feynman is one of the most popular scientists to have ever graced the planet. He won a Nobel Prize for his outstanding work in the field of quantum physics. In fact, he was the first person ever to suggest that the powers of quantum mechanics could be used to make a different type of computer in the long run.

It has been more than forty years since then, and the last two decades have seen massive progress on the field of quantum mechanics. However, we are still stuck at a point where we find it easier to give a description of what quantum computing can achieve instead of giving an explanation of how it actually works in real life. Many casinos online are using quantum technology too, and you can see it for yourself if you use a betfair casino promo code today.

If you want to understand how quantum mechanics actually perform, then you need to be ready to put yourself through a fair amount of mental exhaustion. You will have to understand concepts about quantum computing, and that will not prove to be an easy task.

The power of quantum computing:

According to Satya Nadella, quantum computing has the potential to change the world completely. He is the chief executive officer of Microsoft Corp, and he rates it among the three most important technologies in the world, the other two being artificial intelligence and augmented reality. All three of them can have a radical influence on the way we function in the long run. Experts believe that quantum computers can evolve so much one that that even the fastest supercomputer of today will look like a mere abacus in contrast to it.

Recently, laptops have undergone a lot of advancement after which they are able to tackle a variety of problems rather easily. For example, you will find that speeding up chemical reactions with the help of efficient catalysts has become much easier now. The technological advancement in laptops has also made it much more convenient for us to come across new drugs that can help common people and also make improvements to algorithms which can change the way industries function.

The evolution of quantum computers:

A Canadian company named D-Wave Systems Inc. was the first one to sell the newly invented quantum computers in the year 2011. Other companies which have started delving into the world for quantum computers include International Business Machines, Google and Intel.

In fact, Intel has already begun to ship a superconducting quantum chip. On the other hand, Microsoft is on its way to build a quantum computer because of a generous funding programme that might also allow them to extend the computer’s uses beyond the regular mathematical calculations.

Quantum computers usually depend on tiny circuits which are meant to perform all the main calculations. However, they additionally use two more quantum features known as entanglement and superposition. Regular computers use bits to process date while quantum computers make use of quantum bits to do the same.

If you want to get a quantum computer of your own, then you will have to wait a while because computing power still has not developed that much.
