Quantum Computing | Sector Analysis
Quantum computing is the next generation of computing, leaping towards reality. Though
quantum computing was in research from the 1990's, there is significant patent activity &
industry focus in recent times. It's a near future, unlike current classical computing where data
is encoded into bits 0 s & 1 s, the quantum computing mechanism uses bits (0 s, 1 s ) & qubits
(quantum superposition, combination state between 0 & 1). With quantum superposition,
computing happens at lightening speed compared to any other present supercomputers.
Technology has moved further than challenging quantum computing and maintaining the
balance between the qubits or removing the unnecessary and noisy computations. The
coming years will see more research on quantum computers with a focus on devising
strategies to reduce error rates, making meaningful computations.
