Quantum Supremacy

QUANTUM COMPUTING WALK-THROUGH 

Quantum Computers fundamentally differ from ordinary computers. In normal computers the information in a classical bit is stored as 0 or 1 whereas a quantum bit more precisely a qubit can store 0 or 1 at the same time. Qubits are composed of subatomic particles so they work in coherence with the subatomic logic. Qubits can be 0,1 or a linear combination of 0 and 1.

Quantum computers can perform certain tasks exponentially faster than the classical computers  which is what makes them more intriguing. 

                Efficient Database Searching

Database searching is one such field. In a classical computer to find anything in a database may require testing of every single one of its entries. On the other hand, quantum algorithms are capable of performing the same task in square root of that time. 

      Enhanced Security  Systems with quantum computers


  IT security is another attribute of quantum computers. The banking data and browsing in today's system are kept secure by an encryption system in which you give others a public key to encode message only you can decode, the consequence of this is that this public key can be used to calculate your secret private key. Classical computers will take years of trial and error to do the calculations and fix it. But a quantum computer with exponential speed can probably generate 1 billion possible answers at once to find the correct one in just a fraction of a second.

      Emerging Roadblocks to Quantum Computing  


                       Irrespective of having these many pioneering features there are many challenges which can be a roadblock in building these quantum machines. The problem is the more qubits a quantum computer has the more heat system generates. There is high possibility of loosing information when qubits interact with the environment . The colder and more isolated the qubit is the less likely it is to flip to the other state. To avoid calculation errors the quantum computers need to be kept as near as possible to the absolute zero temperature i.e., 0 kelvin. To tackle this situation they are kept in dilution refrigerators. This will be incredibly expensive to keep million of qubits in scaled dilution refrigerators.

12 Angry Men (Analysis of Underlying Themes)

By On
Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men tells the story of a jury of 12 men in charge of deciding the fate of a poor, young boy who had killed his father. The film opens in a courtroom with the defence and the prosecution presenting their evidence before the judge. After the oral pleadings, the jurors are instructed by the judge to retreat and determine the verdict. The judge also says that the jurors must return a 'not guilty' verdict if they find any reasonable doubt. From the beginning of the film, we can see that the jury room is split into two opposing sides: 'guilty' and 'not guilty'. Juror 8 and Juror 3 are the most significant characters as they are the only ones who vote not guilty and guilty respectively at the beginning of the film, thereby initiating the conflict. In a way, Juror 8 represents the boy's innocence while Juror 3 represents the boy's guilt. Although Juror 3 says that he is merely stating the facts of the case, which undoubtedly point to ...

Life in rural areas

By On
Life in rural areas   Far away from hustle and bustle, there are places where people still prefer living in the simplest way that disconnects them from all the distractions of the urban areas. The greenery of the rural suburbs is the ultimate beauty of the villages which sets them apart from other inhabitable places. Not only are the rural neighbourhoods quieter and more picturesque, but they also provide a better and improved quality of life. It has also been found that being more connected to the countryside can have a very positive impact on wellbeing, helping to improve the quality of life as the residents have nature and wildlife all around them. Wildlife is more frequently found in rural areas than in cities because of the absence of people and buildings.     The view of the herd of cattles grazing over the fields, the fishes swimming in the distinct ponds having lotuses protruding from t...

Dream’s End

By On
 I had a fever dream, of a utopian state A town with no slaves A city with no plagues A flawless place Somewhere I can feel free Where I can be the real me Where the crooks don't steal Where dreams aren't killed Where every obligation is fulfilled And lives are more than just red and blue pills Where the birds don't have to sing inside cages And love isn't just some ink on torn pages Where colors don't fade And we're not divided by borders or races And we don't have to read between the spaces And we're not forced to sing each other's praises Where the world is at peace Where heaven and earth meet A place where a perfect society could be. -Ayush Tripathi
