Laser Technology and Commercialization of Quantum Computers
Image Credit: Yurchanka Siarhei/Shutterstock.com The race to build bigger and better quantum computers has been consuming physicists and major tech giants, such as Google and IBM. With the potential to revolutionize the types and sizes of problems that can be solved computationally, quantum computers may soon change information security, drug design, and even weather forecasts. The difference between a standard and a quantum computer is in how the chip architecture works. Standard computers are based on high and low electrical voltage settings to generate a stream of 1s and 0s. These can then...
