QUANTUM COMPUTING

Mats Tage Axelsson introduces you to quantum computing, the coolest tech around; learn how it works, and how you can get started.

Quantum computing has caught the attention of large companies, academics, and hobbyists. We’re going to cover the history, the different ways to make a quantum computer, and the logic behind programming. You’ll also learn about some programming toolkits that you can use to get started. To run a quantum computer, the physics has to be understood, so programmers can manipulate and measure the final results. Scientists have observed quantum effects in photons, electrons, and isotopes of many materials. This means engineers use superconducting materials, such as niobium and aluminum, to construct workable quantum computing systems. The logic gates are made of silicon wafers, and are controlled using microwave emitters. These solutions may not be the best in the long run, but they’re the ones that are running now. To use…
