A new era is beginning in Turkey… The quantum computer, which is the product of TOBB ETÜ’s work in the field of quantum technologies since 2010, will be introduced on December 21, 2024. Turkey’s first quantum computer, developed with the work of TOBB University of Economics and Technology (TOBB ETÜ), will become operational and increase the country’s power in computing technologies with its contributions in many areas from data security to artificial intelligence, from defense industry to simulations. Alright, What is a quantum computer and how does it work? What does a quantum computer do? Here is our content that finds its place among technology news…
WHAT IS A QUANTUM COMPUTER?
A quantum computer is a type of computer that uses the principles of quantum mechanics, the fundamental theory in physics. Quantum computers are machines that use properties of quantum physics to store data and perform calculations. The basic memory unit in a quantum computer is the qubit.
Quantum computing is a field of cutting-edge computer science that uses the unique qualities of quantum mechanics to solve problems beyond the capabilities of even the most powerful classical computers. Quantum computing has the ability to eliminate large numbers of possibilities and produce possible solutions to complex problems and challenges. While classical computers store information as bits in the form of 0s and 1s, quantum computers use qubits.
HOW DOES QUANTUM COMPUTING WORK?
One of the questions that comes to mind when the term quantum computer is used is undoubtedly the difference of the quantum computer from other types of computers. The main difference between a classical computer and a quantum computer is that quantum computers use qubits instead of bits to store exponentially more information. While quantum computing uses binary code, qubits process information differently than classical computers.
