• Quantum computing is the area of

study focused on developing

computer technology based on the
principles of quantum theory, which
explains the nature and behaviour of
energy and matter on the level.

• Computers based on this theory are

so smaller and faster than digital
computers.
• Many kinds of numeric problems like
algorithms cannot be solved using digital
computers.
• Requirement of faster technology
• Requirement of smaller calculating device
• National security require advance
supercomputers
• 1982-Feynman proposed the idea of creating machines based on laws of
quantum mechanics instead of the laws of classical physics.

• 1985-David Deutsch developed the quantum turing machine showing

that quantum circuits are universal.

• 1994-Peter schor came up with a quantum algorithm to factor large

number in polynomial time.

• 1997-Lov Grover developes a quantum search algorithm with O(√N)

complexity.
 • A quantum computer is a machine that
performs calculations based on the laws of
quantum mechanics , which is the
behaviour of particles at the sub atomic
level.

Qubit: a qubit in superposition is in both the states at the same time.

• In a 3-bit register of a classical computer
one of the eight numbers can be stored, but
in a quantum register all eight numbers can
be stored in one register at the same time
and operated on simultaneously.

 • The main advantage of quantum
Advantages computing is it can execute any task
very faster when compared to the
classical computer, generally the atoms
changes very faster in case of the
traditional computing whereas in
quantum computing it changes even
more faster.
• The other advantage of quantum
computing is even classical algorithm
calculations are also performed easily
which is similar to the classical
computer.
 • The main disadvantage of computing is
the technology required to implement a
Disadvantages quantum computer is not available at
present. The reason for this is the
consistent electron is damaged as soon
as it is affected by its environment and
that electron is very much essential for
the functioning of quantum computers.
• The research for this problem is still
continuing the effort applied to identify
a solution for this problem has no
positive progress.
• Quantum computing could provide a radical change in the way computation is
performed.

• The advantage of quantum computing lie in the aspects of quantum mechanics that are
peculiar to it,most notably entanglement.

• Classical computers will be significantly larger than quantum computers for the
foreseeable future.
