Introduction

Here’s a brief introduction to quantum computing we'll be covering the topics that built advances in the past years and the future aspects. This article also simplifies the world of quantum computing for the lay person who don't quantum computing and may ignite a spark of interest among readers that could lead to further reading in this domain.

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is acomparatively new area of research and development. Towards the end of the 20thcentury, scientists decided to combine two of the most influential and revolutionary theories of the century — quantum mechanics and information theory. Their success led to a new perspective of computation and information. Information theory, which is a combination of computer science as well as communications, swept through the world of physics, impacting it considerably. Hence, significant topics of information theory could be now discussed even without understanding the contingents of the physical devices used for communication or computation. This extremely powerful ability to ignore the underlying principles of physics can be seen in our day-to-day computation and communication devices.

Classical vs Quantum Computing

The most basic difference between classical and quantum computing is their fundamental units. The working principle of classical bits and qubits makes the two approaches visibly different from each other. The traditional bit can store either 0 or 1 at a time while a qubit can be both at any time.

The differences between classical and quantum computing

Classical Computing	Quantum Computing
Its computations and circuit behaviour are based on classical physics.	Its computations are based on quantum physics.
Bits can be either 0 or 1 at an instant of time.	Qubits, at any time, are a combination of 0 and 1. They can hold many complex values and even negative values.
A discrete number of possible states is possible: 0 or 1.	An infinite number of possible states and qubits can have continuous values.
Operations are defined as per Boolean algebra	Operations are defined based on linear algebra over Hilbert spaces.

Research scope in quantum computing

Quantum computing is an upcoming yet challenging research area. With the need to build quantum computers with more and more qubits to take the research forward, we greatly rely on technology giants like IBM and Google. The accessibility of a quantum computer was a dream until IBM developed its own models and fulfilled desire named as IBM Q (Figures of time). While Google claimed that its 53-qubit quantum processor reached ‘quantum supremacy’, and it would take 10,000 years for a state-of-art supercomputer to perform an equivalent task, many have disputed the claim. Still, it was recorded as a significant feat in quantum computing history. Apart from this, there has been substantial development in quantum information processing using quantum machine learning algorithms. Many programming libraries with popular programming languages have emerged, like the Qiskit library for the Python platform and the Q# programming language.

What can be done?

Research in this area is at the very initial stages and hence there’s a lot that needs to be discovered and proved with actual results. Undoubtedly, quantum computing is the future of computing. With all the tech giants.

Computational Chemistry

Some of the haptic problems that could be solved via quantum computing are improving the nitrogen fixation process for creating ammonia-based fertilizer, creating a room-temperature superconductor, removing carbon dioxide for a better climate and creating solid-state batteries.

Drug Design & Development

Designing and developing a drug is the most severe problem in quantum computing. Usually, drugs are being developed via the trial and other method like error method, which is not only very expensive but also a risky and thriving task to complete. Scientific researchers believe quantum computing can be an effective way of understanding. Moreover the development of drugs and its reactions on humans which in turn can save a ton of money and time for drug companies.

Cybersecurity & Cryptography

The online security space presently has been relatively vulnerable due to the adding number of cyber-attacks being across the globe, on a diurnal base also companies are establishing necessary security frame in their organisations, the process becomes daunting and impracticable for classical digital computers and thus, cybersecurity has continued to be an essential concern around the world adding to this with our adding reliance on digitisation, we're getting indeed more vulnerable to these pitfalls.

Weather Forecasting

Presently, the process of analysing rainfall conditions by traditional computers can rarely take longer than the rainfall itself does to change. But a amount computer’s capability to crunch vast quantities of data, in a short period, could indeed lead to enhancing rainfall system modelling allowing scientists to prognosticate the changing rainfall patterns in no time and with excellent delicacy commodity which can be essential for the current time when the world is going under a climate change.
