Abstract

Quantum technologies' processing capacity is built on quantum mechanics foundations, including superposition, the no-cloning theorem, and quantum entanglement. Quantum computing seeks to understand and embrace quantum effects, as well as techniques to improve and sustain them in order to achieve old computational goals in novel ways. It accomplishes this by utilising quintessentially quantum phenomena. We can't get equivalent findings using traditional computation because these processes don't have a classical analogue. There have been significant claims that quantum computers can surpass the Turing limit, however these assertions have been debunked. The Church-Turing thesis, which states that all realisable physical and dynamical systems cannot be more powerful than classical models of computation, has been the subject of numerous intensive attempts. However, quantum computing technologies' experimental insights have already been proved, and various studies are currently underway. In this article, the authors look at the most current quantum computation results and claims.

A Brief History Of Quantum Computing

In 1980, scientist Paul Benioff suggested a quantum mechanical model of the Turing machine, which sparked interest in quantum computing. Feynman and Yuri Manin hypothesised that a quantum computer might be able to simulate processes that a conventional computer couldn't. In 1994, Peter Shor, in an attempt to decrypt RSA-encrypted communications, developed a quantum algorithm for factoring integers. Despite the experimental progress since 1990s, most researchers still believe that “fault-tolerant quantum computing is still a rather distant dream.” The investment in quantum computing research has increased in recent years, in both private and public sectors. On 23 October 2019, Google AI, in partnership with NASA, claimed to have performed a quantum computation calculation that was infeasible on any of the prsent classical computers, but whether this claim was valid is still a topic of active research.
