Are quantum computers even possible?
Even the fastest quantum computers today have no more than 100 qubits, and are plagued by random errors. In 2019, Google demonstrated that its 54-qubit quantum computer could solve in minutes a problem that would take a classical machine 10,000 years.
How can quantum computing change the future of universe?
- Create life-saving medicines and solve some of science’s most complex problems: Quantum computers can significantly shorten the AI learning curve.
- Significant advancement of AI: Quantum Computing will change artificial intelligence by giving massive computing power to enable a faster and more robust AI.
What is quantum computing and why should I Care?
“Quantum computers are believed to be able to solve certain computational problems, such as integer factorization (which underlies RSA encryption), substantially faster than classical computers,” says the Wikipedia article on quantum computing.
Is quantum computing faster than classical computing?
Quantum computing is not a magic formula for faster computing everywhere. It does make certain kinds of difficult problems easier to solve. But for most of the kinds of problems you currently solve with classical computers, quantum computing is not faster. Quantum computing will never run your payroll or recalculate your spreadsheets.
When will quantum computers be available to the public?
In the 2020s, we will have quantum computers that are significantly better than super computers today, but they most likely won’t be in mass use by governments and companies until the 2030s. Eventually toward the end of the 2030s and early 2040s they’ll shrink down to a size and cost viable for consumer use.
What are the opportunities for quantum computing in combinatorics?
The opportunity for quantum computing to solve large scale combinatorics problems faster and cheaper has encouraged billions of dollars of investment in recent years. The biggest opportunity may be in finding more new applications that benefit from the solutions offered through quantum.
