A lot is going on in the world of quantum computing. Chip giant Nvidia has launched an open-source CUDA-Q platform to accelerate quantum computing efforts, while China has created its largest quantum computing chip. Then there are scientists at The University of Manchester who have developed ultra-pure silicon that paves the way for next-generation computers.
All this excitement and development around quantum computers makes sense, given that the technology holds immense potential across various fields, including cryptography, drug discovery, solving complex optimization problems, enhancing machine learning algorithms, and much more.
Quantum computers can achieve all this by taking advantage of quantum theory, which is the behavior and nature of matter and energy on atomic and even smaller subatomic levels. Quantum computing utilizes subatomic particles such as photons and electronics. Qubits (quantum bits) then allow those particles to exist in multiple states simultaneously and are manipulated by control devices.
