The already stunning rapid evolution of computers is about to enter an incredible new level: The PCs 'quantum' is in fact a reality thanks to researchers at Delft University of Technology, who have managed to carry out calculations with two 'quantum bits'. What
'a quantum computer?
The quantum computer is based on the amazing properties of quantum systems: unlike conventional computers that measure data in terms of "bits", the system uses a quantum "qubits", a particle that exists in two states at the same time . The speed of conversion imaginable (plus' I would imagine that instant) allows the qubit to 'catch' the information in a way that has no equivalent in today's world.
It 's a real revolution that a PC running Quantico has been produced using existing manufacturing techniques in the processor, working on this basis, scientists at Delft University of Technology are currently studying two types of qubits: one type makes use of tiny superconducting rings, and others make use of 'quantum dots'.
The dream of 'Quantum Leap'
The dream of a computer like that was in the early '70s: the PC will be able to solve quantum many more extremely 'high calculations and problems from the current computers. Think
to Pc by Craig Venter of Celera Genomics, which took four years to map the genome of a fruit fly: A quantum computer would put us 10 minutes. Can you imagine what changes could make this discovery?
