Enhancing Data Analytics with Quantum Computing

The whole thing needs to be set up inside a freezer cooled down to almost absolute zero. Program quantum oracles and queries with Q#, and use them to solve problems. First, accepted explanations of the subatomic world turned out to be incomplete. Electrons and other particles didn’t just neatly carom around like Newtonian billiard balls, for example.

Quantum computing

This is the core difference; a classical computer can be in any state but only one at a time whereas a quantum computer can be in a superposition of ALL of those states at the same time. Probabilities are used to describe the state but in fact, the state is represented as a quantum wavefunction. The wave function (and hence the probabilities) of the correct solution are found using ‘interference’. The principle of interference allows a quantum computer to enhance the correct solution state or cancel out states of unwanted solutions. The sequence of steps of constructive and destructive interference is what forms a quantum algorithm. The ability to perform computations on vast numbers of states at once allows quantum computers to perform tasks beyond the capability of classical computers.
