Quantum computers look like they could be in our future, but how do they work? And can we expect to see them in homes or workplaces anytime soon?
Quantum computers are smarter and faster than our current supercomputers. It has been estimated that a quantum computer could solve a problem in less than a second that would take a supercomputer five years to solve. The most interesting fact about supercomputers is that they work on a level where they predict futures that could have happened if only one small decision were changed. This is what allows them to solve such complex problems so quickly because they look into a future that not only has not happened, but many futures that had the potential to happen had small things been different. Obviously, these computers have the potential for great things, and it was even said that “Quantum computation will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes.”
Unfortunately, these computers need to be cooled to temperatures as close to absolute zero as possible for proper function. So, while these computers have great potential to help and solve problems that some people cannot even imagine, they are not going to be available to the public for a while. This is not necessarily a bad thing, though, because if people were to use these computers for crimes, normal supercomputers and encryptions likely would not be able to stand against them.
