1. Quantum computing

   Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. A quantum computer is used to perform such computation, which can be implemented theoretically or physically.The field of quantum computing is actually a sub-field of quantum information science, which includes quantum cryptography and quantum communication. Quantum computing was started in the early 1980s when physicist Paul Benioff proposed the first quantum mechanical model of the Turing machine. Richard Feynman and Yuri Manin then expressed the idea that a quantum computer had the potential to simulate things that a classical computer could not. In 1994, Peter Shor published an algorithm that is able to efficiently solve some problems that are used in asymmetric cryptography that are considered hard for classical computers.There are currently two main approaches to physically implementing a quantum computer: analog and digital. Analog approaches are further divided into quantum simulation, quantum annealing, and adiabatic quantum computation. Digital quantum computers use quantum logic gates to do computation. Both approaches use quantum bits or qubits.Qubits are fundamental to quantum computing and are somewhat analogous to bits in a classical computer. Qubits can be in a 1 or 0 quantum state. But they can also be in a superposition of the 1 and 0 states. However, when qubits are measured the result is always either a 0 or a 1; the probabilities of the two outcomes depends on the quantum state they were in. Today's physical quantum computers are very noisy and quantum error correction is a burgeoning field of research. Existing hardware is so noisy that "fault-tolerant quantum computing [is] still a rather distant dream". As of April 2019, no large scalable quantum hardware has been demonstrated, nor have commercially useful algorithms been published for today's small, noisy quantum computers. There is an increasing amount of investment in quantum computing by governments, established companies, and start-ups. Both applications of near-term intermediate-scale device and the demonstration of quantum supremacy are actively pursued in academic and industrial research.

Examples of quantum computing in a Sentence

1. Chuck Schumer:

   I urged The Trump administration to be tough on China, but in a much smarter, multilateral way than the The Trump administration administration was, so that American workers aren't left behind and so the US leads in critical industries like semiconductors, quantum computing, and clean energy.

2. Brian Krzanich:

   Quantum computing represents a completely different approach to computing. This technology will be able to solve problems that are insurmountable today, just as we ushered in the era of our classical personal computing, we’re pushing the boundaries of the quantum computing revolution.

3. Jake Sullivan:

   Trump is literally leaving a vacuum for China to fill, you've got someone in the Oval Office who is fixated on steel, coal and battleships, instead of quantum computing, AI (artificial intelligence) and biotechnology.

4. Tony Uttley:

   We wanted to be able to shape how quantum computing gets used, we actually want to be our own best customer in this.
