What Is Quantum Computing? Google's Quantum Supremacy Claim Explained by VARDIEN(m): 7:12pm On Nov 04, 2019
Quantum Supremacy. It kind of sounds like the title of the ruler of the universe. In reality, it could be part of Google's plan to take over the universe.

Google recently released a paper showing that its quantum processor, called Sycamore, solved a computing problem in 200 seconds that would have taken the world's best supercomputer 10,000 years to solve.

And Google says this is just the beginning of what quantum computers will be able to do.
What is quantum computing?

Quantum computing is a theory of how to build computers.

Quantum computers perform operations on data using ideas from quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement.

In quantum computation, quantum properties are used to perform operations on data and represent it. This allows quantum computers to process massive and complex datasets more quickly than classical computers like the one you're reading this article with.
Bits VS Qubits

Classical computers store information in binary. It's always possible to know the exact state of a piece of data, or "bit."

Each bit can be either on or off.

Quantum computing, however, uses qubits instead of bits. Qubits can be either on or off. Or they can be on and off at the same time.

Quantum computation uses probabilities. You don't always know the exact state of the data. This uncertainty is what makes quantum computing so powerful.

Since quantum computers use the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, they can solve complex computations very quickly. While quantum computers are already used for some purposes such as cybersecurity, they have not been able to do much so far.

A lot of the ideas behind quantum computing are theoretical and it has been challenging to implement them on a large scale. However, this is starting to change.
To be continued on.
