Simulating Optical Fiber Networks for Quantum Computing Success

Posted by Kevin Miller on Mon, Jul 8, 2024 @ 16:07 PM

Along with Artificial Intelligence (AI), currently a very popular topic of discussion, Quantum Computing is another rapidly growing technology arena that represents a revolutionary leap in computational technology. Unlike traditional computing, which uses bits to represent data as 0s or 1s, quantum computing systems leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in fundamentally new ways using quantum bits or qubits. Without going too deep into the details, qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to the phenomena of superposition and entanglement, enabling quantum computers to solve complex problems at much faster rates than previous computing systems.
