Quantum Computers: A Peek into The Future
The word 'Quantum' evokes varied emotional responses in people, ranging from confusion to utter fear. The reason may be the fact that it is related to concepts counter-intuitive to our daily experiences. Such are the complexities related to the topic that even the originators of the field were never sure of themselves when it comes to knowing the intricacies involved. Quotes like Einstein's 'spooky at a distance' and Erwin Schrodinger's "I don't like it, " dominate conversations about the subject's complexities. To understand the working of a quantum computer, one has to keep all daily life experiences aside and embrace new concepts that are sometimes the opposite. A classicalcomputer uses bits to store data that may have a value of zero or one. In contrast, Quantum computer stores the data in Qubits that may be both zero and one. How it is possible, maybe explained by an ingenious thought experiment called the Schrodinger's cat. As th
