Abstract
A quantum computer is a computation device that makes direct use of quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. In early 1980s it was observed that certain quantum mechanical effects cannot be efficiently simulated on classical computer. This observation led to speculation that perhaps computation in general could be done more efficiently if it made use of these quantum effects. Quantum computers are different from digital computers based on transistors. Whereas digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits (bits), quantum computation uses quantum properties to represent data and perform operations on these data. Talking about its basic working principal, it is similar to the standard binary system where information is stored as a one, or as a zero. However, a quantum computer can also store information as both a one and zero, simultaneously. While standard bits are generally stored as positive or negative voltage, qubits can be spinning photons, electrons, wire, etc. The direction of spin gives their zero, one or both zero and one status and when a force effects them, they become entangled. They require a large space and a highly controlled environment. Qubits are very fragile and to be accurate they require ultra-low temperatures, radio shielding, magnetic shielding a separate Faraday Cage and closed cycle cryogenic cooling to constantly maintain their temperature, so they are not currently practical for average user. Quantum computing is currently being used for encryption, long calculations and most importantly software validation. A quantum computer is the perfect solution for testing and validating software code as quantum computers solve problems in a more probabilistic manner. While binary
