Quantum computer - the technology of the future
A quantum computer is something unreal and distant, like a guest from the future. From time to time, there are notes about scientists and their modest achievements in the field of quantum physics, but it's too early to celebrate the victory, because there are still a lot of white spots in this scientific branch. Perhaps in a couple of decades, quantum computers will completely replace ordinary computers that are usual for us, overtaking them in mental development and leaving them far behind, but today we can only hope for that.
A quantum computer can solve the problem of all modern computer technology. Now you can only encode one of the values - zero or one, but a photon at the same time can carry both values for vertical and horizontal polarization. The newest systems will be able to carry out all the calculations simultaneously, and not alternately, as conventional computers do.
Quantum nature itself is very complex, so it is almost impossible to make a correct calculation showing where a photon will exactly appear. It is not easy to do this, even if only one photon is launched into the labyrinth. And if the task is to complicate and run several particles, and in the labyrinth to increase the number of paths, then making the forecast will be very difficult. The model invented by scientists is nothing more than a permanent matrix, the embodiment of a mathematical function.
On a modern computer, you can simulate the solution of the problem, but only on condition that several particles travel through the labyrinth, and the small one itself. If the conditions are complicated, for example, to increase the number of photons or paths in the labyrinth, then even the most powerful technique can not perform calculations .
