The british Ministry of Defense has purchased the first quantum computer of the british government. stephen Dill of the Defense Science and technology Laboratory of the Ministry of Defense called it a "milestone moment." It was designed by the british company Orca Computing. The Ministry of Defense said it would work with the company to study the implementation of quantum technology in the defense sector.
"We'll discover new applications of this revolutionary technology," said richard Murray, CEO of Arca Computing. At this time we will see what a quantum computer is and how it differs from conventional computers.
What is a quantum computer?
The creators of this quantum computer claim that quantum computers can solve calculations that conventional computers cannot solve, and that they are capable of completing the most complex calculations very quickly.
The computers we usually use in homes and offices operate through a unit called a 'bit', which has a binary number value of zero or one.
However, quantum computers operate on the basis of a unit called a cupid.
This cupid unit represents a possible combination of the digits 0 and 1. This ability to be in multiple levels simultaneously is called superposition. Experts say that through this process, quantum computers combine binary digits and do things that conventional computers cannot do. To use the power of quantum computers, several cubits have to be joined together. This process is called entanglement.
Also, each cup is twice as calculated as its addition. Experts and physicists say that this will solve problems that could not be solved for years by conventional computers by quantum computers in a matter of minutes. Quantum computer technology is a complex one to understand. they work not only on laptops and cell phones, but also on supercomputers that operate at astonishing speeds.
The basic plan is to use quantum computers to work against climate change, to develop new drugs, and to develop artificial intelligence technology. But Winnfried Hensinger, head of the Sussex Center for Quantum Technologies at the university of Sussex, says quantum computers have not yet been implemented to solve practical problems.
