Quantum computers are dreaming up new possibilities in medicine and agriculture
Development of technology is rapidly changing people's lifestyle. Scientists hope that quantum computers can accelerate that trend.
From the outside, quantum computers do not appear to be innovative. But there is a big secret hidden inside it. Quantum computers operate only in certain environments.
Ultra-fast particles called quantum bits or qubits must be kept at extremely cold temperatures. It requires cooling system, laser impulse, control technology It is not possible to keep such a computer under the office table. Its qubit power is much higher than ordinary bits.
One such computer is kept at the research center of IBM company in Switzerland. Company representative Andreas Führer said, “The processor has to be placed under the quantum computer. That is the original quantum processor The refrigerator attached to it can maintain the minimum temperature of minus 273 degrees Celsius.
To understand how a quantum computer works, one has to dive into the world of the smallest particles, i.e. quantum mechanics. A very strange and almost uncomfortable world that is fascinating at the same time.
Everything is different in that empire of atoms. All are dynamic, superimposed on each other. It happens in several places almost simultaneously. It is quite difficult to get an accurate idea about such a picture. Because it is not possible for humans to observe that world. Whenever something is attempted to be measured, the quantum disappears. Education is also needed to understand that world.
Until now people know conventional bits as electrical circuits through transistors, bits can be either one or zero. There is a logic behind the connection between those digital worlds As a result, each circuit in the process runs sequentially. Its motion is very rapid but always gradual, i.e. one after the other.
In a quantum computer, that bit becomes a qubit. Instead of just one or zero, it is possible to create more states by switching between them with microwaves or laser pulses.
A qubit can be a one and a zero at the same time in the so-called "superposition" state, and can hold all states in between. That situation can be compared to a lot of revolving money. As long as it is moving, nothing can be said. The qubit chooses one of two key states when it makes a single measurement.
An example can illustrate the point Suppose a computer has to choose the most direct path in a complex system. Conventional computers explore all possible paths one step at a time. As a result, the more complex the task, the longer it takes.
A quantum computer, on the other hand, tries to solve such a problem simultaneously with interconnected qubits and finds the ideal path much faster.
But for what purpose can such a quantum computer be used? Scientists say, through this, in the field of medicine, medicine can be created separately for each person according to his specific disease
Thanks to quantum computers, it is possible to make agriculture more sustainable This computer could pave the way for more sustainable fertilizer production May help make ammonia production more ideal
High-powered quantum computers have yet to be built, but the researchers say there are promising possibilities.
