  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum computing  and  qu
