What is Quantum computer and what are its uses in easy words? Quantum Computer not for normal Public





Dear Computer fans:


I have been asked many times What is a quantum computer. So today im gonna explain it in very easy terms so everyone of us could understand.


So as you know the basics working of a normal computer, which operates by interpreting bits. Bits could be 1s and 0s. 1 means on or true and 0 means off or false. This is the binary language. Data is broken in to this fundamental language so the computer could understand us humans.

Well the main problem is that some sort of specific programs need much more processing power like optimization problems which we might not be able to get from these traditional methods of data processing. Enter Quantum Computing.


Quantum computing is based on quantum physics. Which is weird to be honest. It utilizes qbits (Quantum bits) which can be 1 and 0 at the same time:


There are number of physically objects that could be used as qbits. A single photon, a nucleus or an electron, Each electron could have two states, up down spin or lower energy level and a up spin which is a higher energy level.

The strange thing about quantum computing is that the electron can also exist in a state called quantum superposition where it is neighter has up spin or down spin but could be any of those. It utilizes the Schrodinger model. So if we are able to measure the probability of the super position we could utilize them as qbits to process our optimization problems. In effect qbit = N^2 classical bits.

You could now use a quantum computer by IBM hosted on their cloud at: http://www.research.ibm.com/quantum/

Our normal videos and internet browsing would be even slower on a quantum computer as traditional algorithms are better suited to classical computers and hence sadly we wont be using it any time soon.

Warning: A More Deadly Mutant strain of Corona virus is spreading

According to scientists a new strain of mutated corona virus is in the air. It allows the virus to become more deadly and infect more cells.  The mutation, named D614G, increased the number of “spikes” on the coronavirus - which is the part that gives it its distinctive shape. Those spikes are what allow the virus to bind to and infect cells These are some precautions to take:                       STAY HOME. SAVE LIVES. Help stop coronavirus 1 STAY home as much as you can 2 KEEP a safe distance 3 WASH hands o

Exploring Simulation Theory: Are We Living in a Computer-Generated Reality?

Reality has always been a subject of philosophical and scientific inquiry, with countless questions arising about its nature and existence. One intriguing and somewhat controversial concept that has gained popularity in recent years is Simulation Theory. This theory proposes that our reality is not what it seems, suggesting that we might actually be living in a computer-generated simulation. In this blog post, we'll dive into the fascinating world of Simulation Theory, examining its origins, key proponents, and the arguments both for and against it. The Origins of Simulation Theory Simulation Theory, while a contemporary idea, has roots in ancient philosophical ponderings about the nature of reality. Plato, for instance, mused about the existence of a "shadow world" where the true reality of objects could be found, beyond the realm of our senses. However, the modern concept of Simulation Theory owes much of its popularity to philosopher Nick Bostrom. In 2003, Bostrom publ

5 Best Portable Speakers to Buy

Dear Readers,      Well you know that one cool little gadget that all of us want? Yeah im talkin about the Protable Speaker system. We have reviewed some of them and they are mind blowing. No. 5 - Philips BR-1X Philips has a come out with this fun to play speaker link system and its rocking two drivers and one woofer. Total system wattage 10watts. No. 4 - BOSE SOUND LINK Mini II Bose is the m ost famous sound system with the best low ends and a compact form factor. They lack some loudness but thats alright. No. 3 - JBL CHARGE JBL Charge 2 gives us a lot of features like charging the your gatdgets with the battery that is with in this bohemoth and converting all that juice in to loud and elegent sound. No. 2 - UE BOOM No.1 - UE MEGABOOM
