BITS Pilani scientists, collaborating with IBM Quantum, have simulated the behaviour of subatomic particles on 120 qubits of an IBM processor highlighting Quantum Advantage.
- Quantum Advantage occurs when quantum computers execute specific, complex tasks faster, cheaper, or more accurately than the most powerful classical supercomputers
What is Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing is an advanced field of computing that harnesses the unique qualities of quantum mechanics to solve problems beyond the ability of even the most powerful classical computers.
Challenges with Quantum Computing
- Decoherence and noise: Qubits lose quantum states quickly, degrading accuracy.
- Error correction: Needs many physical qubits to create one reliable "logical" qubit.
- Hardware dependence: Indigenous fabrication of qubit-grade materials and cryogenic systems is nascent.
