Beyond Bits : Exploring the Quantum Realm and its Promises

Abstract

The field of quantum mechanics, which is governed by the counterintuitive ideas of entanglement and superposition, has enormous technological potential. For more than a century, quantum mechanics has formed the foundation of theoretical physics, but its real-world applications have remained practically elusive. Nonetheless, we are getting closer to utilizing the potential of the quantum realm for ground-breaking applications because of recent developments in quantum computing, sensing, simulation, and communication. This talk will delve into the fascinating world of quantum technology, exploring underlying ideas, potential applications, and the challenges that lie ahead. We will discuss the difference between classical and quantum computing, different types of quantum technologies, the problems that can be solved, and the working principle behind the superconducting qubits. Finally, the discussion will culminate by highlighting the challenges associated with advancing quantum technologies.
