Quantum Computing: Principles and Applications

Yoshito Kanamori, Seong-Moo Yoo

The development of quantum computers over the past few years is probably one of the significant advancements in the history of quantum computing. D-Wave quantum computer has been available for more than eight years. IBM has made its quantum computer accessible via its cloud service. Also, Microsoft, Google, Intel, and NASA have been heavily investing in the development of quantum computers and their applications. The quantum computer seems to be no longer just for physicists and computer scientists but also for information system researchers. This paper introduces the basic concepts of quantum computing and describes well-known quantum applications for non-physicists. Also, the current status of the developments in quantum computing is presented.

What is Quantum Computing and How it Works, Artificial Intelligence Driven by Quantum Computing

Bahman Zohuri

Companies such as Intel as a pioneer in chip design for computing are pushing the edge of computing from its present Classical Computing generation to the next generation of Quantum Computing.Along the side of Intel corporation, companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and Google are also playing in this domain.The race is on to build the world's first meaningful quantum computer-one that can deliver the technology's long-promised ability to help scientists do things like develop miraculous new materials, encrypt data with near-perfect security and accurately predict how Earth's climate will change.Such a machine is likely more than a decade away, but IBM, Microsoft, Google, Intel, and other tech heavyweights breathlessly tout each tiny, incremental step along the way.Most of these milestones involve packing more quantum bits, or qubits-the basic unit of information in a quantum computer-onto a processor chip ever.But the path to quantum computing involves far more than wrangling subatomic particles.Such computing capabilities are opening a new area into dealing with the massive sheer volume of structured and unstructured data in the form of Big Data, is an excellent augmentation to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and would allow it to thrive to its next generation of Super Artificial Intelligence (SAI) in the near-term time frame..

Quantum Computing: Principles, Progress, and Prospects

V. Raghu Ram Chowdary

Quantum computing leverages quantum mechanical concepts, including superposition, entanglement, and interference, to solve problems that traditional computers cannot handle efficiently. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the field, covering both the theoretical foundations and the latest developments in quantum hardware and algorithms. This study covers fundamental elements, qubits, gates, and circuits while emphasizing quantum parallelism as a distinctive feature. To illustrate efficiency gains, we explore notable algorithms like Shor’s factorization procedure and Grover’s search algorithm. Furthermore, we analyze recent advancements in quantum hardware, focusing on superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and photonic quantum computers, with an emphasis on implementations by IBM, Google, and other industry leaders. The discussion also addresses major challenges such as decoherence, noise, and the need for quantum error correction to achieve fault tolerance. Finally, we explore emerging applications in cryptography, optimization, quantum machine learning, and material simulation, and identify critical open problems that must be addressed to realize scalable, universal quantum computing. Our review underscores the transformative potential of quantum technologies across science and industry.
