Study Notes

What is Quantum Computing?

  • Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to process information.
  • Quantum computers use qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously due to superposition.
  • Entanglement links qubits, where the state of one qubit influences the state of another instantly.

Quantum Computing Applications

  • Healthcare: Quantum computers can analyze genetic data quickly, accelerating drug discovery.
  • Finance: Portfolio optimization, real-time risk monitoring, and more accurate predictive models.
  • Cybersecurity: Quantum computers can create new cryptography techniques and protect data from future quantum attacks.

Quantum Computing History: Key Milestones

  • 1982: Richard Feynman proposed using computers to simulate quantum processes.
  • 1985: David Deutsch developed the first theoretical model of a quantum computer.
  • 1994: Peter Shor created an algorithm to break encryption faster than classical computers using quantum computing.
  • 1998: The first quantum bits (qubits) were produced.

Quantum Computing in Finance:

  • According to McKinsey, quantum computing could generate $625 billion in the finance industry by 2035.
  • Deloitte projects financial institutions' spending on quantum computing to increase from 80millionto80 million to 80millionto19 billion by 2032.
  • Quantum computing can handle complex calculations and analyze data faster than classical computers, allowing for better risk management.
