Cool Quantum computer

Quantum computer

Though quantum computing is still in its infancy, experiments are undergoing to see if they can light up more areas into the making of Quantum Computers


In a classical (or conventional) computer, the amount of data is measured by bits; in a quantum computer, the data is measured by qubits

Bits vs. qubits

The computer as we know it has a memory made up of bits, But as and when Quantum computers come out, they will have the memory made up of qubits

Also our home computers operates on a 3 bit register. the bits in the register are in a definite state, such as 101.

In a quantum computer, however, the qubits can be in a superposition of all the classically allowed states. In fact, the register is described by a wavefunction:

Right, this is just some bits i got together about Quantum computers and computers as we know them best

Please forgive me if you think this post was pointless, i just wanted to see if i could do a review on it

So, what does everyone think of it?? good or bad?

Cheers and thanks for reading
