Abstract

Quantum computers once only existed in dreams and science fiction. Now, they are very much a reality. With quantum computers entering the market, questions are being asked. What is a quantum computer? What does it do? What are some of its features? And what is the future of quantum computers? This paper presents an analysis of quantum computers’ purpose, functionality, and future uses.

Quantum Computing: An Introduction

J. Dale Prince

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.

Quantum computers shape up for the future

The dream of quantum computers has moved a small step closer to reality with the first successful demonstrations of quantum algorithms in experiments and a novel proposal to build a quantum computer based on the silicon technology used in existing computers. Quantum computers would exploit the ability of quantum particles to be in a superposition of two states at the same time and, for certain tasks, would have the potential to outperform classical computers by many orders of magnitude (Physics World March pp47–52).
