Hi everyone, welcome back! You may have heard about quantum computing, but do you know what it is? Well, if you are interested in learning about what exactly quantum computing is and how it compares to classical computing, also known as binary computing and very commonly used currently, then you’ve come to the right place.
Quantum computing works differently than classical computing, which is why it has some buzz right now.
How Computer Calculations are Done
Essentially everything you do electronically will get broken down into a high level programming languages which translates down to low level programming languages to assembly language then finally to a bunch of 1’s and 0’s. When we look at classical computing, classical computing uses bits or transistors which represent either a 1 or a 0. Quantum computing uses qubits, which is able to represent a 1 AND a 0.
The Power of Computing
Quantum computers calculating power can be much greater of that than classical computers calculating power. Classical computing uses bits or transistors, and when a computer uses more of them, the calculating power of the computer increases. But because bits can only represent a 1 or a 0, the computers calculating power only increases at a linear…
