An Overview of Quantum Computing
We are on the verge of a second quantum revolution, building on the one that occurred in the last century. The first revolution involved manipulating groups of quantum particles like electrons and photons, which led to the development of technologies such as transistors and lasers that completely transformed the world. The second revolution, which began in the 1980s and has gained momentum in recent years, is expected to be even more transformative. It involves manipulating individual quantum particles and utilizing the quantum phenomena of superposition, entanglement, and interference. This leads to the development of three new technologies: quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum sensing.
Worldwide investment in such technologies has surpassed $30 billion from public and private sources. Most of the investment is in quantum computing, and it is expected to create new simulation capabilities that could lead to groundbreaking advancements in fields like chemistry and materials science. The potential economic value from quantum computing is estimated to be between $620 billion and $1.27 trillion across four industries – chemicals, life sciences, finance, and automotive – by 2035.
This presentation aims to introduce you to this exciting and rapidly advancing field. We’ll start by outlining the present state of technology development and then discuss some details. We will examine how a quantum algorithm is constructed to help you understand its unique characteristics, limitations, and potential to significantly improve the performance of some applications and generate entirely new applications.
