1 Quantum computing: a paradigm shift from conventional computing
Kavita Arora, Neha Gupta, Rashmi Agrawal, Nguyen Ha Huy Cuong · 2024
Quantum computing is a contemporary method of computation that follows the concepts of quantum mechanics. This technology is a wonderful amalgamation of physics, mathematics, computer science, and information technology. This technology imparts towering computing capacity, lessened energy demand, and mounting speed on top of conventional machines. This is accomplished by having a control on the behavior of tiny physical matter such as atoms and electrons. This chapter gives a sneak peek into the world of quantum computing and its fundamental concepts. This work also discusses the conventional mechanism of computing and augmentation and transfiguration happened due to constraints in the existing machines. After discussing this, the flow of work moves to discussion of the basic work mechanism and properties of quantum computing. This work also uncovers the hardware and software requirements, its significance, and favorable and unfavorable outcomes. This study certainly gives a deep insight into the power of this new arising technology in this competitive world.
