1. Quantum Computing vs. Classical Computing The foundation of Quantum Computing is quantum physics, which differs from traditional physics in many ways. Particles like electrons and photons, which are capable of existing in numerous states simultaneously in quantum physics, can be utilized to represen...
German physicist Max Planck introduced the modern concept of quantum in physics in 1901. He was trying to explain blackbody radiation and how objects changed color after being heated. Instead of assuming that the energy from heat was emitted in a constant wave, he posed that the energy was emi...
In 1981, Richard Feynman gave a keynote that proposed simulating physics with computers. We’ve come a long way with the resulting quantum computers, and you may have heard about business use cases for them. But how much progress has been made in using the machines to understand the ...

quantum computing, a technology being developed at IBM, Google and others. It's named for quantum physics, which describes the forces of the subatomic realm. And as we told you last winter, the science is deep and we can't scratch the surface, but we hope to explain just enough so ...
Quantum computing uses phenomena in quantum physics to create new ways of computing. Quantum computing involves qubits. Unlike a normal computer bit, which can be either 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in a multidimensional state. The power of quantum computers grows exponentially with more qubits. ...
terms of qubit vs. bit, there is a clear winner in theoretical calculations – although the computing power of qubits is limited to the problem and in some cases cannot be applied. Quantum computers owe this victory to two key principles of quantum physics: quantum entanglement and superposition...

In subject area: Physics and Astronomy Quantum computing is a computing architecture that utilizes the interference properties of entangled quantum particles, known as qubits, to establish intimate connections between each bit of quantum information in the system. This allows for massively parallel computa...
