Quantum Computers

In the last 50 years computer scientists and engineers were focused on how to update computers and how to equip them with the fastest nanoships. However,with all these major inventions they never thought about dumping the bits way of computing but in the last decade  some have changed their vision and started thinking of how to build computers that can do computing in a whole new level.

 A quantum computer is the product of the crossroad of computer science and quantum physics.A quantum computer taps directly into the fundamental fabric of reality– the strange and counterintuitive world of quantum mechanics – to speed computation.Rather than store information as 0s or 1s as conventional computers do, a quantum computer uses qubits – which can be a 1 or a 0 or both at the same time. This “quantum superposition”, along with the quantum effects of entanglement and quantum tunneling  enable quantum computers to consider and manipulate all combinations of bits simultaneously, making quantum computation powerful and fast.

"A quantum computer would take just weeks to complete a calculation that a conventional computer would take millions of years to solve." (Michael Hoche) So,can we agree that it's a faster and more efficient way of computing?! I think yes but what does that mean to us ?

1. Really accurate weather forecasting
2. More efficient drug discovery
3. No more traffic nightmares
4. Accelerating space exploration
5. Machine learning and automation
6. Radiotherapy Optimization(Detect cancer earlier)
7. DNA Mapping
8. Financial analysis

And many more.... With the introduction of quantum computers to  our universe,nothing will ever be the same !
