Quantum Computing and fundamentals of quantum
- 1. Quantum Computing Harnessing thePower of Quantum Mechanics
- 2. What is QuantumComputing? • A fundamentally different approach to computation using quantum mechanics • Leverages quantum bits (qubits) instead of classical bits (0 or 1) • Solves complex problems exponentially faster than classical computers • Enables processing multiple possibilities simultaneously
- 3. Core Quantum Principles •Superposition: Qubits exist in 0 and 1 simultaneously until measured • Entanglement: Qubits share correlated states instantly regardless of distance • Interference: Quantum algorithms amplify correct answers while cancelling wrong ones • Quantum Parallelism: Process many paths at once rather than sequentially
- 4. Qubits vs ClassicalBits Classical Bit Either 0 or 1 Sequential processing Deterministic states Qubit 0 and 1 simultaneously Parallel processing Probabilistic outcomes
- 5. Inside a Qubit:State Representation Bloch Sphere 3D geometric representation of any qubit state North pole: |0 state ⟩ South pole: |1 state ⟩ Surface: Pure superposition states Key Parameters θ (Theta): Controls probability of 0 vs 1 φ (Phi): Controls quantum phase Amplitude: Probability weights (complex numbers) Phase: Relative timing information
- 6. How Qubits StoreInformation • Quantum Amplitudes: Qubits encode probability amplitudes as complex numbers (real + imaginary parts) • Superposition: Single qubit simultaneously stores both 0 and 1 with specific probability weights • Phase Information: The quantum phase enables constructive/destructive interference for quantum algorithms • Physical Implementation: Electron spin, photon polarization, trapped ions, superconducting circuits
- 7. Current Applications (2025) •Drug discovery and molecular simulation • Financial portfolio optimization • Supply chain and logistics optimization • Quantum-safe cryptography and security
- 8. Emerging Applications • ArtificialIntelligence and Machine Learning acceleration • Climate modeling and environmental simulation • Smart grid optimization and renewable energy • Advanced materials and battery design
- 9. Key Challenges • Decoherence:Qubits lose quantum properties when disturbed by environment • Error Correction: Requires many physical qubits for one logical qubit • Scalability: Building large-scale quantum computers remains difficult • Software Maturity: Need better programming languages and tools
- 10. Leading Industry Players IBM Quantumprocessors and cloud services Google Quantum AI research and development Microsoft Azure Quantum platform D-Wave Quantum annealers and optimization
- 11. Timeline and FutureOutlook • 2025-2030: Near-term practical applications in optimization, cryptography, materials science • 2030-2035: Quantum-safe cryptography standards become mandatory • Beyond 2030: Large-scale quantum advantage for AI and complex simulations • 15-30 years: Highly "useful" quantum computing per industry estimates
- 12. Key Takeaways • Quantumcomputing represents a paradigm shift in computation using quantum mechanics • Near-term impact expected in optimization, drug discovery, and cryptography • Significant challenges remain but progress accelerates with each year • Organizations should start exploring quantum applications now
