Smart Computing-Term Of The Day:
From the Teeny Atom to Monstrous Computational Capability
Quantum computing uses quantum theory (the study of atomic energy dispersal) to design futuristic computers that will no longer be limited to binary code. These computers will make use of the qubit that is not limited to either a "1" or a "0". The qubit can function as both at the same time, so if the "1" stands for up and the "0" stands for down, than the qubit will be able to stand for both simultaneously. The upshot of all this is computers that will be able tackle complex, involved problem solving quickly and efficiently. As with grid computing, quantum computing also offers the allure of faster database and Web searches.
