What and why Quantum Computing?

-


Being the first generation of Quantum Computing it’s important to understand where it came from and what it exactly is. Max Planck, a scientist who introduced us to the ideology of the existence of energy and matter in individual units, and later its studies were continued by other great scientists. The particles are independent; the movement of elementary particles is inherently random and unpredictable; they may behave like waves or particles depending on the conditions. He also added that the more precisely you measure the more flawed the measurement becomes, which means it is not certain. For most of our history, human technology has consisted of basic elements until there was an evolution in the brains of humans over time. This advancement caused a huge impact on the work done by humans and by a machine ‘Computer’.

 

Quantum Computing depicts an advanced and better archetype in the field of computation. They are different from digital electronic computers based on transistors. The actual quantum computer is still in the beginning stage where there is a lot to be explored.  It can solve extremely complex problems, manage a huge amount of data, and work on probabilities that a normal computer or human can’t, hence it’s an aesthetic touch to every aspect of modern life. 


The quantum computer gets the speedup from going through all the possible values to a problem in parallel. This quantum theory is based upon the nature and behavior of energy and matter on the quantum at atomic and subatomic levels. It performs calculations based on fundamental principles. With the growing expertise in technology the world is getting more used to quantum computing and has experienced unprecedented extensions and interests from the companies like IBM, Intel, and Honeywell. This field is ever-evolving and will grow exponentially as the day goes by.


It can make the twisted and tangled problems solvable and has the potential to revolutionaries computation like graphs, algorithms, combinatorics problems, encryption, etc. It can carry out the calculations that other computers cannot. To reach the maximum advancement in the field of science and technology it has always given a greater share and much advancement. To have this implied on the computer sciences’ and for human welfare, it is likely to deliver a huge amount of speedups. Quantum Computing doesn’t bring change in a day, it takes time to revolutionize. The more names of the company, the more they indulge their investments in them for long-term profit. 

 

In recent years we’ve seen exponential growth in computer systems. Quantum computing has evolved and bettered it more than normal computer systems. The technological application areas where quantum computing is used are Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Computational Chemistry, Cybersecurity & Cryptography, Drug Design & Development, Financial Modelling, Logistics Optimisation, Particle Physics, and Weather Forecasting.

 

Quantum Computing comes with an advancement over the old approaches to real-world phenomena. It has a great potential for humanity and can help us in numerous ways of helping one to make smarter investments, to develop cures and medicines, pharmaceuticals drugs which are needed in crucial times like this one now, it can also revolutionize transportation. Quantum Computing can be of great help in geophysical analysis in oil and gas exploration, weather and financial forecasting, etc. Hence, Quantum computing is a boon to humanity in all ways, a boon that will only get enhanced to perfection in the future.

QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

  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

Due to the continuously growing natality rate, increased availability of healthcare and food production has led to decreased mortality and further proliferated, population outburst on earth. This has caused strain on the energy sources and thereafter there has been an endless search for the most convenient, fast, and long-lasting method of renewable source of energy. According to the sources, from 2011 to 2021, renewable energy has grown from 20% to 28% of the global electricity supply. Fossil energy shrank from 68% to 62%, and nuclear from 12% to 10%. The share of hydropower decreased from 16% to 15% while power from sun and wind increased from 2% to 10%. Biomass and geothermal energy grew from 2% to 3% . Among many energy sources, Biomass can be one of the most trusted renewable energy sources, due to its abundance of availability present in nature. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol (which comes from corn or other plant

PHISHING ATTACKS IN INDIA

-
What do mean by phishing ?  Phishing is a type of online fraud when con artists pretend to be reputable companies or organizations in order to deceive victims into giving up personal information like passwords or credit card details. Phishing efforts can take the shape of emails, websites, or even text messages, and can appear authentic at first glance. A phishing attempt can be identified in a number of ways, including misspellings, odd syntax, and sudden requests for personal information. Do not respond to the message if you believe you are being targeted by a phisher; instead, report the incident to the relevant authorities. Phishing in India !!!! India is a vast and developing country. Digitalization is being done at a speedy rate. This brings a lot of ease for the general public but also creates a pool of opportunities for scammers, hackers, and con men. As per an article by Times of India Between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2022, clients lost roughly 1500 crores in these scams.
