Qubit

everyday would stop. Most people know what computers are and how they work, but there is a special kind of computer that not many people in the world are aware of, that is Quantum Computers. So, you may ask “What is a Quantum Computer?”, well a quantum computer is not an ordinary computer because of many reasons, the components, the size, performance and architecture. A quantum computer is a computer that makes use of the quantum states of subatomic particles to store information. What that actually means is instead of using transistors to store information like you would in a conventional computer a quantum computer uses atoms. A conventional computer has bits, that can store either a 1 or 0 however, in a quantum computer there are called qubits and they can also store a 1 or a 0 but also 1 and 0 at the same time and or an infinite number of values in between, that’s called a superposition. The most well know quantum computer out on the market is Google’s, which has 1,000 qu bits. An average conventional pc has 64bit cpu which can have speeds up to 4.0ghZ, Google’s quantum computer is claimed to be a 100 million times faster than a conventional computer. The cost of Google’s quantum computer is roughly 10 million dollars, while as the fastest conventional computers (supercomputers) are roughly around 100 million dollars. Once we have quantum computers running stable, they are going to change the world. Here are some interesting ways that quantum computers will change the…

human brain performs them. In classical computing, information is stored in bits which are the discrete values of 1s and 0s. Performing operations on these discrete values on a classical machine is the same as performing them by hand. The typical features of classical computers like bits, registers, logic gates and algorithms have analogous features in a quantum computer. In quantum computing information is manipulated in the form of quantum bits or ‘qubits’ which work…

progressive approach to computation has been devised that is based off the theories of quantum mechanics, making it more accurate in comparison to biological systems. Quantum computers aim to harness the phenomenon that is experienced by atoms at a molecular level, and use it to compute at expeditious speeds. These computers have various advantages over digital computers because they use quantum bits, or qubits, to encode data. Qubits are different from digital bits in that instead of being in…

Without doubt, quantum computing manifests its superiority over using conventional p-n junctions in a typical desktop computer. Quantum computers, through superposition entanglement, can simultaneously calculate all possible solutions in a D-wave processor, rendering them indispensable for solving computer paradoxes, such as P=NP, developed by physicist Kurt Godel to solve the NP-complete in quadratic and linear time. However, quantum computer’s cryptographic systems in their D-wave processers…

Photosynthetic Productivity in C3 and C4 Plants: Sunflower versus Sorghum Carmen Tran University of California, Fullerton December 10, 2016 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to conclude whether C3 or C4 plants had better photosynthetic productivity. The two plants that were used were a C3 plant, a sunflower, and a C4 plant, a sorghum. The prediction for this experiment was that the sorghum would have a greater photosynthetic rate. To perform the experiment, a Qubit system was…

a one or a zero. A quantum bit however, is an amalgamation of both a zero and a one, until it completes a set of instructions. Imagine a problem that requires a certain number of bits in a certain order; while the conventional bit computer sifts through as many possible combinations one by one until it arrives at an answer, the qubit computer would try many possible combinations at once until it arrives at an answer. Just like the electron that spins clockwise and counter clockwise until it…

The article “Quantum Computer Comes Closer to Cracking RSA Encryption” written by Amy Nordrum, shows that Cryptography needs to be important, because of the fast developing of new technology. In her article Ms. Nordrum tells about computer scientists from the MIT which found a way to crack the RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman)-Code. On the fact, that RSA Encryption is used in all our devices it is quite frightening to know that the government is maybe already using this kind of technology for…

Rev. A 88, 032317 (“Steady-state entanglement of two superconducting qubits engineered by dissipation“). (4) Please specify the superscript “m” mentioned on the 7-8th line in section II. (5) In the context of local feedback scheme (as mentioned just before Eq. 16), is there any condition on the photon detection also? If there are more than one photo-detection clicks required for this scheme then is your method takes into account the time-delay between the recording of more than one clicks…

Triangulene, a chemical similar to graphene, has long been thought to be unable to be synthesized due to its instability. A team from IBM, however, has figured out a way to create this elusive molecule. Triangulene is a flat molecule made of six carbon rings structured in the shape of a triangle. The problem with synthesizing this molecule is that it contains unpaired electrons in two of its outer carbons. These free electrons cause the molecule to oxidize almost instantly as these electrons…

Immunofluorescence The fixed colon sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated through a series of graded alcohols, and then incubated with FITC-conjugated anti-mouse F4/80 antibody (BD Biosciences, United States) at a 1:100 dilution in PBS for overnight at 4℃, followed by counterstained with DAPI. Sections were imaged and photographed using fluorescent microscope (Leica Microsystems, Heidelberg GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). Microbiota analysis using bacterial 16s rDNA amplification and…
