An Interview regarding quantum computers

Q1. How will you differentiate between a quantum computer and a normal desktop
computer which is commonly used by many people?

Ans. In quantum computing, a qubit or quantum bit is a basic unit of quantum


information—the quantum version of the classic binary bit physically realized with a
two-state device. Normal computers processes information in the form of digital
bits (0s and 1s), while quantum computers uses quantum bits (qubits) to store
quantum information in values between 0 and 1.

Q2. What is a basic structure on which a quantum computer works??

Ans. Quantum computing uses the qubit as the basic unit of information rather than
the conventional bit. The main characteristic of this alternative system is that it
permits the coherent superposition of ones and zeros, the digits of the binary
system around which all computing revolves. Qubits are the basic units of quantum
computers on which all the operations are performed. Qubits can be of the types:
trapped ions, superconducting qubits or photonic qubits

Q3. Can we expect a desktop computer down the line in a few years? How will it
help us?

Ans. We genuinely don't know when commercially viable quantum computers are
likely to arrive, especially since some developments are likely happening in secret.
We do know that when they do some of the data that couldn't be compromised
today will be vulnerable. No. And not just because the technology is demanding.
The more important reason is that you simply don’t have much use for a QC in day-
to-day life. QC won’t help you one bit (or qubit ;-) when it comes to reading e-mails,
news, typing letters, browsing the net, playing games, watching YouTube and so on

Q4. Does AI need quantum computers??

Ans. Many AI applications, such as planning and scheduling, can benefit from
quantum computing because it helps explore viable solutions to problems. AI
architectures can be developed more efficiently and at a larger scale using quantum
computers. Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems with
significantly fewer computational steps than classical computers. This could lead to
more energy-efficient AI algorithms, especially for tasks that currently require
extensive computational resources

Q5. What is the physics behind quantum computers??

Ans. Quantum computing uses phenomena in quantum physics to create new ways
of computing. Quantum computing involves qubits. Unlike a normal computer bit,
which can be either 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in a multidimensional state. The power
of quantum computers grows exponentially with more qubits. Quantum computers
harness the laws of quantum mechanics to perform certain calculations
exponentially faster than today's supercomputers

Q6. Is quantum computer faster than a brain??

Ans. The current quantum computers can't compete with the human brain.
Quantum computers in the future could (but that is a conjecture).

But you need to realize that the brain and a computer and a quantum computer
operate differently and have their own specializations.

In raw computation of numbers, a computer is way faster and more accurate than a
human. They also beat us in chess and jeopardy. They seem to be getting better at
poker as well.
