Quantum Mechanics: The World of Quantum Computing
Quantum Mechanics: The World of Quantum Computing
Today
I will be discussing about the world of quantum computing and how
quantum computer works. Well, if you study the classical computing you will find
that these computers calculate a process or a complete command on the basis of
their bits these bits are 1 and 0. These units or the binary numbers enables
the classical computers to work and compute different type of things. Now, the
difference is that a quantum computer works on the rules of quantum world or
more radically the principle of quantum superposition, as I have discussed in
my earlier posts that what is meant by quantum superposition so let me just
move to the concerned topic. A typical quantum computer works on the basis of a
qubit, it can be a electron or a proton or any quantum particle, we know that a
particle can spin both in upwards and in downwards direction.
Let us take an
electron for example it exerts a electromagnetic charge and is a electrified particle. Now it is used as a qubit, in a classical computer the number can be either 1
or 0 but in a quantum computer they can be 1 and 0 both at a
same time and that happens because a electron can be spinning at both the
directions at a same second or at any time it can be at any energy state. This very
thing gives quantum computers power to calculate things beyond our imagination
and calculate them to limits of eternity.
