quantum computers exploit quantum effects to compute in ways that are faster or more efficient than, or even impossible, on conventional computers. Quantum computers use a specific physical implementation to gain a computational advantage over conventional computers. Properties called superposition and entanglement may, in some cases, allow an exponential amount of parallelism. Also, special purpose machines like quantum cryptographic devices use entanglement and other peculiarities like quantum uncertainty. Quantum computing combines quantum mechanics, information theory, and aspects of computer science. Quantum computers require quantum logic, something fundamentally different to classical Boolean logic. This difference leads to a greater efficiency of quantum computation over its classical Counter“part. The field is a relatively new one that promises secure data transfer, dramatic computing speed increases, and may take component miniaturization to its fundamental limit.
