Quantum Computing

Abstract: Quantum computing is an emerging technology. The clock frequency of current computer processor systems may reach about 40 GHz within the next 10 years. By then, one atom may represent one bit. Electrons under such conditions are no longer described by classical physics, and a new model of the computer may be necessary by that time. Quantum Computing is a new and exciting field at the intersection of mathematics, computer science and physics. It concerns a utilization of quantum mechanics to improve the efficiency of computation. In this paper we briefly survey what is quantum computing, potential quantum applications, and useful areas of Quantum Computing.

Keywords: Quantum Computing, Quantum Applications, Useful areas of Quantum Computing
