||Quantum Computers, it impact and applications|| by @kombatnatuka

The first question is what is quantum computers. Quantum computation is the field that investigates the computational power and other properties of computers based on quantum-mechanical principles such as the collective properties of quantum states, such as superposition, interference, and entanglement, to perform calculations.It combines two of the most important strands of 20th-century science: quantum mechanics (developed by Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schr¨odinger and other.

One of the reason why we study quantum computing is The process of miniaturization that has made current classical computers so powerful and cheap, has already reached micro-levels where quantum effects can take place. Chipmakers tend to go to great lengths to suppress those quantum effects, forcing their bits and logical operations to behave classically, but instead one might also try to work with them, enabling further miniaturization of these chips.

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 side the Intel corporation is companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and Google who are also trying to make adcanment in this technology.

what will be the effects of quantum computing

One of the major effects of this new technology is what it will have on cryptography.Since most of current classical cryptography is based on the assumption that these two problems are computationally hard, the ability to actually build and use a quantum computer would allow us to break most current classical cryptographic systems, notably the RSA system.RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem that is widely used for secure data transmission. It could also be used to break encryption used by bitcoin.

Application of quantum computing

1. Cybersecurity
   
2. Drug Development
   
3. Financial Modeling
   
4. Better Batteries
5. Cleaner Fertilization
   
6. Traffic Optimization
   
7. Weather Forecasting and Climate Change
   
8. Artificial Intelligence
   
9. Solar Capture
   
10. Electronic Materials Discovery
    

To conclude,
Even with all this it Application, it potential impact remains largely theoretical. But I think it is worth the time and money as it will revolutionise computing.
