Quantum Computing: The Future of Computing By: Roshan Kathir, Javakar Jeyanathan, Theodore Egube
What is Quantum Computing? Computing using quantum mechanics Very powerful technology to allow extremely fast computing Uses qubits instead of bits Superposition Entanglement
Classic Bit vs. Quantum Bit
Types of Quantum Computers Quantum Annealer
Types of Quantum Computers 2. Analog Quantum Computer
Types of Quantum Computers 3. Universal Quantum Computer
Developmental Phases Research began in 1970s “Conjugate coding” by Stephen Wiesner “Qubits” by Alexander Holevo Concept of “quantum computing” created by Dan Simon at University of Montreal in 1990s Large integer factoring algorithm
Developmental Phases (cont.) Early 2000s, first working NMR quantum computer demonstrated First 28-qubit quantum computer in 2007 by D-Wave Upgraded to more powerful 128-bit computer First commercial version released in 2011 for $10M
Global Applications Navigation - Occupation of multiple coordinates simultaneously Data Security - Faster encryption processes Health Care - Increase rate of molecule analysis Gene analysis and sequencing Custom medicine
Potential Applications Aircrafts - Avoid errors during flight Astronomy - Easier analysis of distant planets Health Care - Earlier detection and better treatment of cancer
Significance of Quantum Computing Increase in efficiency and speed of computing Previously impossible calculations now possible THIS IS THE FUTURE OF COMPUTING!
