This can sound very strange, what it means is when you run a quantum equation it runs X number of times and tells you how many times the bit was equal to a 0 or 1.]]> 2022-04-29 14:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164405755 So what does this mean? concun470 https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164412894 Above are an example of potential results running a quantum equation could give you. The results show how many times both bits were 0s and when both bits were 1s. ]]> 2022-04-29 14:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164412894 What is Quantum Computing? concun470 https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164415671 There is not enough space here for this to be fully explained, if you wish to know more follow the link above.

But in short: Quantum computing is a form of calculating equation by reading the polar direction of particles. This is extremely important for quantum mechanics and has been greatly advancing science. With quantum computers it may one day not too far from now, make spaceships like those seen in Star Wars or Star Trek. While we will probably never see a home quantum computer, because traditional ones are better at playing videogames and scrolling through social media (not even to mention the insane cooling arrays quantum computers take), it will still bring many improvements in other parts of our lives. ]]> 2022-04-29 14:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164415671 Superposition concun470 https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164420200 To explain superposition as briefly as possible is rather than a particle going through the top or bottom gate, it sends out beams that go through both gates at the same time. This is a very basic explanation and it is recommended you watch the video. ]]> 2022-04-29 14:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164420200 Entanglement concun470 https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164422278 Quantum computers also use entanglement, this states that particles, no matter the distance between them, correlates to the other particle. How a quantum computer uses this property is to calculate how often the particles correlate one way or the other.]]> 2022-04-29 14:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164422278 Learn more concun470 https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164425708 To learn more I recommend you sign up for this free online course. It has been very informative over writing this paper. ]]> 2022-04-29 14:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164425708 Why this is important concun470 https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164429680 The quantum internet, once functioning, will be extremely secure, and very well synchronized. The quantum internet allows that thing called entanglement to happen between two quantum computers from a massive distance. This will allow for things like major improvements in security and is extremely powerful for clock synchronization, which believe it or not, is actually one of the most important things for a computer. 

To close off I am going to state that yes, quantum computers really do matter to us, even if none of the sciencey nerd stuff matters to you, the massive leap in security will matter. ]]> 2022-04-29 14:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164429680 Slideshow (hard to follow, just read the padlet) concun470 https://padlet.com/concun470/BoQC/wish/2164433662 Want to view the original slideshow?
