• Medicine and Materials
• Even basic molecules like Caffeine are too complex to fully
simulate with a traditional computer
• Machine Learning
• Real time processing of complex data E.g. images
• Search Algorithms and Big Data
• Mathematical proof of much better search efficiency (see Grover
Algorithm)

Quantum computing makes use of quantum physics, also called quantum
mechanics, to perform calculations in a manner radically different than
conventional models of computation. The power of the quantum computer is
that it is based on a logic that is not limited merely to on-or-off, true-or-false
scenarios. Quantum computing has bits, just like any computer. But instead of
ones and zeros, quantum bits, or qubits, can represent a one, a zero, or both
at once, which is a phenomenon known as superposition. The superposition
that occurs in a quantum system is so different to that which occurs in classical
systems that it can allow two of these qubits to behave in ways that cannot be
explained by the individual components. This is called entanglement. These
more complex calculations can be used to re-imagine computing.
What is Quantum Computing

Square Quantum Bit Design 2015
• The optical image shows all components of the device,
including the four qubits, Q1–Q4, the four readout
resonators R1–R4 and the four coupling buses
B12,B23,B34 and B41.
• The readout resonators also serve as qubit control
lines, with single-and two-qubit gates applied at
frequencies ωi with i∈{1,2,3,4}.
• Readout is performed at the resonator frequency ωMi.
Each readout signal is reflected off a Josephson
parametric amplifier (JPA), pumped at frequency ωPi,
before being sent to a High-electron-mobility transistor
(HEMT) amplifier at 4K.
• A blow up of one of the qubits is also shown, depicting
the capacitor geometry as well as the coupling lines to
the readout resonator and to the buses.
• The black scale bar represents a length of 100µm.
