A brief introduction to quantum computing

[tao]

Abstract:

Quantum computing is computing using quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as quantum superposition and entanglement. Quantum computing is a chance a solving problems that are considered unsolvable classical computers. Quantum computing is a relatively new and complicated field. In this paper I provide a brief overview of quantum computing systems.

 

1. Introduction
The pace at which computer systems evolve is overwhelming. From cell phones to distributed systems computers the evolution of computers happens to be unnoticed. As time goes on classical computers will reach an end in potential, according to Moore’s law the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits doubled every year since their invention. But what if we can not go any smaller in transistors. Quantum computers perform operations on elections which have a diameter of about 10 −18 m which is
much smaller than the transistors of a quantum computer. Due to the many advancements in quantum computing technology these computers are finally within reach.

The world we live in is a quantum one. Classical computers are abstract and do not align with the world. Quantum computers will help us achieve a better understanding of the world.
