The Role of Quantum Computing in Modern Technology

Quantum computing is an emerging field that has the potential to revolutionize modern technology by
solving complex problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Unlike traditional computers,
which use bits to process information as either 0 or 1, quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits)
that can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to the principles of superposition and entanglement.
This allows quantum computers to perform calculations at exponentially faster speeds, making them
ideal for applications such as cryptography, material science, and optimization problems.

Major tech companies like IBM, Google, and Microsoft are actively investing in quantum computing
research. In 2019, Google’s quantum computer, Sycamore, achieved “quantum supremacy” by solving a
problem in 200 seconds that would take the world’s fastest supercomputer thousands of years to
complete. While quantum computing is still in its early stages, its potential applications include
revolutionizing artificial intelligence, accelerating drug discovery, and improving financial modeling.
However, challenges such as error rates, qubit stability, and high operational costs must be overcome
before quantum computers can be widely adopted for commercial use.
