Quantum Computing: Hemant Singh 1500410020 Final Year (CS)

Quantum computing offers new possibilities as computing technology continues to shrink components to the atomic scale. Quantum mechanics, not classical physics, will govern interactions at that tiny level. Quantum computers encode information in quantum bits that can represent 0 and 1 simultaneously, allowing multiple computations to occur in parallel. This enables entirely new algorithms and a qualitatively different type of computing compared to classical computers.

Quantum Computing

Abstract
The history of computer technology has involved a sequence of changes from one type of
physical realization to another --- from gears to relays to valves to transistors to integrated
circuits and so on. Today's advanced lithographic techniques can squeeze fraction of micron
wide logic gates and wires onto the surface of silicon chips. Soon they will yield even smaller
parts and inevitably reach a point where logic gates are so small that they are made out of only a
handful of atoms; i.e. the size of the logic gates become comparable to the size of atoms.

On the atomic scale matter obeys the rules of quantum mechanics, which are quite different from
the classical rules that determine the properties of conventional logic gates. So if computers are
to become smaller in the future, new, quantum technology must replace or supplement what we
have now. The point is, however, that quantum technology can offer much more than cramming
more and more bits to silicon and multiplying the clock-speed of microprocessors. It can support
entirely new kind of computation with qualitatively new algorithms based on quantum
principles!

The advantage of quantum computers arises from the way they encode a bit, the fundamental
unit of information. One number, 0 or 1 specifies the state of a bit in a classical digital computer.
An n bit binary word in a typical computer is accordingly described by a string of n zeros and
ones. An atom might represent a quantum bit, called a qubit in one or two different states, which
can also be denoted as 0 or 1. Two qubits like two classical bits can attain four different well-
defined states (00, 01, 10 and 11).
