Computing
is
all
about
to
change
with
the
unveiling
of
quantum
computers.
This
is
going
to
be
a
big
leap
in
computing
that
will
bring
with
it
fundamental
shifts
in
different
technologies
used
today.
Currently,
there
are
many
security
technologies
built
on
the
complexity
of
computing
different
puzzles
of
which
normal
computers
can
take
thousands,
millions,
or
billions
of
years
to
crack.
These
are
mostly
security
solutions
that
use
cryptography.
However,
the
unveiling
of
quantum
computers
will
mean
that
these
complex
puzzles
will
be
solvable
in
less
time.
Therefore,
many
encryption
algorithms
that
are
currently
deemed
secure
will
not
be
after
the
release
of
quantum
computers
in
the
world.
Quantum
computers
will
take
over
the
future.
It
is
not
just
an
advanced
way
of
computers;
it
is
a
reformation
of
computers
atom
by
atom.
These
changes
will
have
impacts
that
will
be
felt
in
all
sectors.
This
article
will
look
into
this
based
on
the
following
topics:

Evolution
of
the

The

Impacts
of
the
quantum
technology
The
first
general
purpose
computer
was
built
in
1837
and
it
was
man’s
biggest
attempt
at
computing.
After
a
century,
another
big
milestone
was
reached
when
ENIAC
was
built.
It
was
the
first
electronic
computer.
It
used
vacuum
tubes
to
control
the
flow
of
electricity.
After
that,
transistors
were
introduced
allowing
smaller
computers
to
be
built.
Today,
microprocessor
technology
is
in
dominance,
and
it
has
allowed
for
the
creation
of
very
powerful
but
small
computer
processors.
Therefore,
computers
have
been
reduced
from
the
size
of
entire
rooms
to
the
size
of
a
device
that
is
handheld.
This
is
the
current
stage
of
computing
that
seems
to
be
a
big
improvement
from
the
ancient
computers.
Computing
The
Quantum
Future
However,
there
has
not
really
been
a
fundamental
change
in
the
way
computers
are
built.
Most
attempts
were
made
to
reduce
the
size
of
computers.
The
same
idea
of
building
a
computer
using
a
top-down
approach
is
still
in
play.
However,
research
is
ongoing
to
build
computers
from
the
bottom
up,
at
atom
and
electron
level
Evolution
of
the
quantum
technology
The
following
is
the
path
that
the
quantum
technology
research
has
taken:
(history
of
quantum
computing)
1965
A
physicist
called
Richard
Feynman
was
involved
in
the
development
of
the
atomic
bomb.
In
his
research,
he
came
up
with
several
theories
on
quantum
electronics
that
explained
how
electrons
interacted
with
each
other.
He
created
visual
depictions
between
electrons
and
photons,
as
well
as
depictions
of
several
other
atomic
interactions.
1980
Feynman
investigated
the
conventional
concepts
about
quantum
physics
and
how
binary
states
could
be
presented
in
two-state
quantum
systems.
The
idea
was
to
simulate
quantum
computers,
but
instead
of
using
the
conventional
computers,
he
wanted
these
simulations
to
be
done
in
quantum
systems.
1985
A
theoretical
paper
was
published
by
David
Deutsch
in
Oxford
explaining
the
two-state
quantum
system
and
a
universal
quantum
computer.
It
describes
how
the
attainment
of
the
two-state
quantum
system
could
lead
to
the
ability
to
perform
simple
operations.
1994
Peter
Shor
proposed
an
algorithm
that
could
be
used
to
break
encryption
systems.
Since
many
encryption
systems
use
large
prime
numbers,
the
algorithm
is
designed
to
efficiently
arrive
at
these
numbers
if
it
is
run
on
a
quantum
computer.
The
algorithm
sparked
a
lot
of
interest
from
computer
scientists.
1995
NIST
and
the
California
Institute
of
Technology
worked
on
ways
that
can
be
used
to
shield
quantum
computers
from
potential
environmental
influences.
Their
research
also
touched
on
ways
through
which
magnetic
fields
could
be
used
in
quantum
systems
to
allow
ions
t0
be
trapped
and
cooled.
1996–present
Researchers
from
IBM,
MIT,
University
of
California,
and
Harvard
University
studied
the
way
nuclear
magnetic
resonance
could
be
used
to
manipulate
quantum
information
in
iquids.
To
reduce
the
effect
of
disturbances
of
the
information,
they
use
multiple
molecules
to
represent
a
single
qubit.
Their
study
shows
that
NMR
could
act
on
the
atomic
nuclei
of
molecules
making
up
the
fluid
causing
a
spin
that
could
lead
to
the
alignment
of
an
atom’s
spin,
which
would
betray
its
value,
either
a
0
or
1.
When
the
electromagnetic
field
was
varied,
the
researchers
were
able
to
identify
oscillations
that
could
lead
to
spins
that
flipped
the
states
in
a
qubit,
allowing
it
to
have
both
zeros
and
ones
at
the
same
time.
The
researchers
were
also
able
to
observe
interactions
between
molecules
that
could
be
exploited
to
create
logic
gates
within
the
qubit.
The
research
team
was
able
to
build
a
2-bit
quantum
computer
and
subsequent
improvements
have
since
been
made
to
the
quantum
computer.
The
quantum
technology
race
Nations
globally
are
racing
towards
achieving
quantum
computing.
The
country
that
gets
hold
of
the
immense
computing
power
offered
by
quantum
computers
will
definitely
be
at
a
strong
advantage
over
other
countries.
There
is
a
fierce
competition
between
the
US
and
China
in
this
race.
Both
nations
have
made
massive
investments
in
research
and
development
activities
aimed
at
achieving
the
quantum
computing
reality.
This
will
usher
in
a
new
era
of
computing
and
cause
several
changes
in
the
security
solutions
offered
today.
Europe,
even
with
a
rich
history
of
research
on
quantum
computing,
seems
to
have
fallen
behind
in
the
race.
It
has
only
made
small
and
stealthy
moves,
the
most
recent
being
in
2016
where
it
said
it
would
jointly
fund
1
billion
research
on
quantum
technology.
The
research
was
aimed
at
quantum
communication,
computing,
simulation,
and
sensing.
Europe
is
also
looking
at
areas
that
other
nations
do
not
have.
In
its
10-year
quantum
technology
roadmap,
it
has
included
research
and
development
activities
on
quantum
software
and
quantum
control.
Since
Europe’s
roadmap
is
clearer
and
more
public,
let
us
take
a
look
at
its
areas
of
interest,
which
will
be
of
mutual

to
all
in

The
development
of
quantum
technology
has
changed
the
way
we
look
at
the
world
and
has
opened
up
a
world
of
possibilities
for
the
future.
Quantum
technology
offers
unprecedented
opportunities
for
scientific
progress
and
has
enabled
us
to
move
beyond
the
traditional
boundaries
of
computing
power
and
energy
efficiency.
In
this
blog
post,
we
will
explore
the
potential
of
quantum
technology
and
its
impact
on
future
developments.
We
will
take
a
look
at
the
various
technologies
that
are
being
developed
and
the
potential
implications
of
their
application.
We
will
also
discuss
how
quantum
technology
is
already
being
used
in
industry
and
how
it
might
be
applied
in
the
future.
To
begin,
let
us
examine
the
basics
of
quantum
technology.
Quantum
technology
is
based
on
the
principle
of
quantum
entanglement,
which
is
a
phenomenon
where
particles
are
intrinsically
linked
so
that
they
can
communicate
and
interact
with
each
other,
even
when
separated
by
a
large
distance.
This
means
that
quantum
systems
can
be
more
powerful
and
efficient
than
traditional
computers.
This
increased
efficiency
can
be
used
for
many
different
applications,
from
speeding
up
calculations
to
providing
secure
communications.
The
applications
of
quantum
technology
are
wide-reaching
and
far-reaching.
For
example,
quantum
computing
can
be
used
to
simulate
complex
systems
such
as
those
related
to
materials
science,
chemistry,
and
biology,
which
could
lead
to
advances
in
drug
development,
artificial
intelligence,
and
robotics.
In
addition,
quantum
computers
could
be
used
to
decrypt
encrypted
data
and
could
even
be
used
to
simulate
the
behavior
of
the
universe
itself.
Quantum
technology
also
has
implications
for
communications.
Quantum
entanglement
could
be
used
to
create
secure
communications
that
are
impossible
to
decrypt.
This
could
be
used
to
protect
sensitive
data,
or
to
ensure
the
privacy
of
communications
between
parties.
Finally,
quantum
technology
has
the
potential
to
revolutionize
energy
production
and
storage.
Quantum
computers
could
be
used
to
efficiently
and
accurately
predict
the
timing
and
location
of
energy
production,
leading
to
more
efficient
energy
networks
and
improved
energy
storage.
In
conclusion,
quantum
technology
offers
the
potential
to
revolutionize
many
aspects
of
our
lives
and
bring
us
closer
to
achieving
a
true
quantum
future.
In
the
next
blog
post,
we
will
explore
the
potential
applications
of
quantum
technology
and
the
implications
of
its
use
in
industry
and
everyday
life.
