Conclusion
Quantum computing is the area of study focusedon developing computer technology based on theprinciples of quantum theory, which explains thenature and behavior of energy and matter on thequantum (atomic and subatomic) level.
Computers based on this theory are so smallerand faster than digital computers.
Calculation based on the laws of Quantum Mechanics.
Uses Quantum Mechanical Phenomena to perform operations on data.
Operations done at an atomic/sub-atomic level.
Many kinds of numerical problems like algorithms cannot
be solved using digital computers.
Requirement of faster technology
Requirement of smaller calculating devices
National security require advance supercomputers
Require advanced technology for civilian, business, trade,
environmental.
A quantum computer is a machine that performs calculations
based on the laws of quantum mechanics, which is the
behavior of particles at the sub-atomic level. A Quantum is a
smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property
Quantum Computing. Computation depends on principle of
quantum theory
In a 3-bit register of a classical computer one of the eight
numbers can be stored, but in a quantum register all eight
numbers can be stored in one register at the same time and
operated on simultaneously.
Classical(Newtonian) Mechanics deals with macroscopic
system while Quantum Mechanics deals with microscopic
system-atomic and subatomic level.
Computer system/components are becoming smaller and
smaller from mechanical computer to vacuum tubes, to
transistors then to IC’s that Classical theory fails to explain.
Thus Quantum theory becomes essential..
A qubit is a quantum bit. As a bit is the basic unit of
information in a classical computer, a qubit is the basic
unit of information in a quantum computer.
A physical implementation of a qubit could use the two
energy levels of an atom. An excited representing |1> and a
ground state representing |0>.
The biggest problem.
States that if a coherent (superposed) state interacts with
the environment, it falls into a classical state without
superposition.
So quantum computer to work with superposed states, it
has to be completely isolated from the rest of the universe
(not observing the state, not measuring it..)
Most important property in quantum information.
States that two or more particles can be linked, and if
linked, can change properties of particle(s) changing the
linked one.
Two particles can be linked and changed each other
without interaction.
Quantum systems are so small.
It is impossible to measure all properties of a Quantum
system without disturbing it.
As a result there is no way of accurately predicting all the
properties of a particle in a Quantum System.
