Innovation is the turning point towards the future. There is a huge amount of information that we humans don't know. How can we resolve these unknown answers? The biggest solution is quantum computing. Here's how quantum computers work, how they're made, how a person can program a quantum computer, and how it will change our future as we know it. How a Quantum Computer Works: Old School vs. New School The first conventional computers that were introduced were these large towers of switches, transistors, and buttons. These old computers consumed so much power, but had such limited specs. The first Macintosh ever made had a whopping 128 kilobytes of random access memory, and the floppy disk inside the computer wouldn't be able to hold even a single song in today's age. Researchers and scientists find themselves in the same situation we were in in the early 1950s, after World War II, when we built the first computer. D-Wave, a manufacturer of quantum computers, built a computer for NASA and Google in October 2013 for Google and NASA's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab. The quantum computer is called D-wave Two and costs around fifteen million dollars and the size of the computer is that of a garden shed which will cool the quantum chip to temperatures below zero. Quantum computers have the ability to travel at the speed of light. Conventional computers rely on binary code, which is a series of values ​​of 0 or 1. A quantum computer, on the other hand, has qubits. A qubit operates with values ​​of 0 and 1, but can be both 0 and 1 at the same time, a phenomenon known as "superposition." The Heart of the Computer: How the Quantum Computer is Built For a fifteen million dollar computer, this computer has a beast inside it...... half of the article...... helps me because it explains how we got there approach quantum computing and how quantum computing can work in different ways. Overall, it will help me describe to the reader what a quantum computer is and how it works. Docksai, R. (2011). Computers make the leap in quality. The Futurist, 45(3), 10-11. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/866305922?accountid=960Quantum computers need and have much more power than today's conventional computers. The article explains how we are making the same leap we have made in the past. When computers were first introduced; computers took up an entire room and were expensive. We have now transformed computers into smaller, cheaper systems and this will be the same for quantum computers. In conclusion, this article gave me ideas on how to explain how we are making the leap just like we did in the past.
