Innovation is the breakthrough to the future. There is a huge amount of information that we humans do not know. How can we resolve these unknown answers? The biggest solution is quantum computing. Here's how quantum computers work, how they're made, how a person can program a quantum computer, and how it will change our future as we know it. How a Quantum Computer Works: Old School vs. New SchoolThe first conventional computers that were These large towers of switches, transistors, and buttons were introduced. These old computers used so much power, but had so few specs. The first Macintosh ever designed had 128 kilobytes of RAM, and the floppy disk inside the computer wouldn't even be able to hold a single song in today's era. Researchers and scientists find themselves in the same predicament as they were in the early 1950s, after World War II, to build the first computer. D-Wave, a quantum computer maker, built a computer for NASA and Google in October 2013 for Google and NASA's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab. The quantum computer is called D-wave Two and costs around fifteen million dollars and is about the size of a garden shed which will cool the quantum chip to sub-zero temperatures. Quantum computers have the ability to go as fast as the speed of light. Conventional computers rely on a binary code, which binary code is a series of values ​​of 0 or 1. A quantum computer, on the other hand, has qubits. A qubit operates at values ​​of 0 and 1 but can be both 0 and 1 simultaneously, which is called “superposition.” The Heart of the Computer: How the Quantum Computer is Built For a fifteen million dollar computer, this computer has a beast inside. this...... middle of paper ... helps me because it explains how we approached quantum computing and how quantum computing can work in various ways. Overall, this will help me describe to the reader what a quantum computer is and how it works. Docksai, R. (2011). Computers are taking a leap forward. The Futurist, 45(3), 10-11. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/866305922?accountid=960Quantum computers need and have much more power than today's conventional computers. The article explains how we are taking the same step forward as back then. When computers were first introduced; computers took up an entire room and were expensive. We have now transformed computers into smaller, cheaper systems, and the same will happen with quantum computers. In conclusion, this article gave me some ideas on how I can explain how we make the leap, just like we did back then..
