There is considerable interest in the use of silicon devices as qubits for quantum computing. The existence of nuclear spin in a silicon isotope and the complex band structure of silicon are unfavourable for this application of silicon devices.

The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary investigation on the performance between a high-performance silicon computer and a quantum computer in terms of programming control statements. The study hypothesizes that the quantum computer would outperform the silicon computer in terms of processing performance. There were three types of experimental performance analysis scenarios conducted under the context of basic programming statements which are the ' for loop ', ' while ', and, ' if else ' control statements. To obtain the average of the completion times, the experiments were repeated five times. The obtained results suggest that the silicon computers outperformed the quantum processing capabilities.
