Published Jul 1, 2014• 4 citations

Abstract

With recent news about a quantum computer, it is clear that quantum computing is cresting the horizon of the mainstream. It may be a distant horizon, but quantum computing is increasingly becoming not just a trope of science fiction but also a near future reality. Moreover, once the mechanisms of quantum computing have been ironed out, it has the potential to revolutionize the world of computing.

Qubit, Quantum Entanglement and all that: Quantum Computing Made Simple

Zion Elani

Quantum computing, a fancy word resting on equally fancy fundamentals in quantum mechanics, has become a media hype, a mainstream topic in popular culture and an eye candy for high-tech company researchers and investors alike. Quantum computing has the power to provide faster, more efficient, secure and accurate computing solutions for emerging future innovations. Governments the world over, in collaboration with high-tech companies, pour in billions of dollars for the advancement of computing solutions quantum-based and for the development of fully functioning quantum computers that may one day aid in or even replace classical computers. Despite much hype and publicity, most people do not understand what quantum computing is, nor do they comprehend the significance of the developments required in this field, and the impact it may have on the future. Through this lecture notes, we embark on a pedagogic journey of understanding quantum computing, gradually revealing the concepts that form its basis, later diving in a vast pool of future possibilities that lie ahead, concluding with understanding and acknowledging some major hindrance and speed breaking bumpers in their path.
