Questions tagged [quantum-computing]

Quantum Computation deals with considering computation as fundamentally physical, as well as replacing the classical binary digit (bit) with the quantum binary digit (qubit). While the classical bit is either 0 or 1, the qubit can be in a superposition of these states. Computation systems that use quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, can solve certain complex problems very quickly.

What's the equivalent to hard-storage that quantum computing would be to CPUs?

Title says it all - if quantum computing would be like Intel's futuristic CPU, what would be like SanDisk's (or Seagate's) futuristic SSDs and such? Lot's of articles online talk about how quantum computers might process information/the strangeness…

Can you run 64 bit applications on a quantum computer?

Since conventional computers use bits, which can either be 1 or 0, can we simulate a 64-bit operating system on a quantum computer by restricting the values of the qubits to either 0 or 1, instead of 0, 1, and everything in between?

Why am I getting this Qiskit Error code: 'qr' not defined?

Qiskit error code 'qr' not defined It should be defined I expect. It may be the difference in the version of software on the video I watched vs my software. I tried 'import qiskit' and it still gave me the error code. I'm not sure but I'm just…

Quantum computers and algorithm performance

I have a question. Gradually quantum computers will emerge someday. So, nowadays making algorithm efficient is important; I mean, making it optimal to run as fast as possible. But once quantum PC emerges does the algorithm performance improvements…
