Why Study Quantum Computing?

Quantum Computing is being studied and explored because of the following reasons:

1. Moore’s Law - This states that number of transistors per silicon chip doubles every
year or 18 months

• Moore’s law is breaking - This means due to very small size of transistors, we have
electrical leakage which generates heat.

• The more smaller the chip goes, we start to deal with subatomic particles - Realm
of quantum computing.

• Also more transistors → more heat → Increase in cost of cooling large server rooms

2. Prime Numbers Factorization - Used in Cryptography

• This helps in encryption systems → create unhackable encryption systems

3. Quantum Communication, Network and Internet

• Novel ways of fast information transfer

4. Quantum computers are very good at solving optimization problems such as cal-
culating optimized route’s for delivery, scheduling flights, etc.
5. Quantum computers can deal with big data within seconds → Exponentially accelerate
machine learning tasks.
