These past few months, it is no surprise that there has been a surge in AI development. AI has been helpful in medical fields and research, but it has also been used as tools for schemes by hackers and cyber criminals. Essentially, AI is becoming a double-edged sword.
Some people have been wondering if there is a way to accelerate the process of computing without the use of AI. Is there a way to cut the down the time frame to a shorter amount without utilizing AI tools?
The answer could lie within quantum computing, a field that has been studied for the past few decades. It has garnered increasing interest over the years, and investments, from tech giants and startups around the globe.
Normal Computers versus Quantum Computers
Computers are tools that can store and process digital information in something called “bits”. Because of how helpful they are with this storage and process, they are useful tools for many people around the globe. Business owners, remote workers, and even students can complete tasks and assignments with the help of a computer.
What makes a quantum computer different is that they use “quantum bits”, or “qubits” when storing and processing information. They work faster and are designed to be more complex than a standard laptop or smartphone. Because of their design and intended use, quantum computers are more essential for handling calculations and mathematics.
Quantum computers can be useful in scientific research and chemical/mathematical calculations. Scientists believe that these computers can be essential for their experiments, simulations, and research.
The Potential of Quantum Computing
Quantum computing has the potential to lead to a $1.3 trillion increase in value across particular industries by 2035. Some tech experts believe that these computers can lead to breakthroughs in particular fields, such as cryptography, finance, science, and transportation.
The IBM states that such technology can solve problems at a rapid rate as well. Normal computers are not suited for these calculations because they can take a very, very long time to compute them. A quantum computer can do so in just minutes or hours.
Unfortunately, cracking quantum computing does not lie in upgrading current computers. The process is an entirely separate approach in the fields of computers that rely on quantum physics, which is why it will take a long time to reach the completion of such tools.
How Long until Quantum Computing is Ready?
The tech industry has a huge wave of obstacles to overcome before quantum computing can reach full potential.
The reason is because qubits are extremely fragile; they are susceptible to external factors such as a change in temperature or light. Even a simple vibration on the table that the quantum computer rests on can set back the device and its process.
Some experts state that it will be another decade or two until quantum computers reach full potential. About 72% of tech executives, investors, and academics hope to have a fully fault-tolerant quantum computer ready by 2035.
Regardless, when quantum computers are ready, experts state that the benefits they provide will be tremendous for many people.
