Now that we know what quantum mechanics is, we can interrogate ourselves about the relation between physics and computers. Well, physics and computer science are strongly related to each other, and they always depend on each other. This supercomputer is different from a normal computer because it uses the knowledge of quantum mechanics to solve very difficult mathematical calculations, which our normal computer is not able to do. I already know what you may ask, what do calculations have to do with computers?
If you think of the web pages from which you are reading this article, you will only see writings and images with which you can interact by clicking on them, for example, but not everyone knows that everything in front of you is made up of numbers, even writings! These numbers are calculated by computers, which in turn show you these numbers in the form of web pages, video scripts, images and anything that can be found on the internet. Cool, right?
So, a quantum computer is able to perform any calculation faster than a normal computer, and especially complex calculations that our computer would not even recognize. moreover, this supercomputer can break encryption schemes used in common sites (to find out more, you can consult our article on Blockchain, where we explain what encryption is and how it works: https://alphasolutions.pw/blog/ ) and can also perform physics simulations, all of which is essential for the function of the quantum computer, i.e., data analysis.
