Quatum Computing & Parallel Computing

Question 1

Quantum Computing Definition

Answer 1

Uses quantum bits or qubits instead of classical bits to store and manipulate information.

Qubits allowing for much faster and more powerful computation than classical computers.

Question 2

A world application that benefit from quantum computing.

Answer 2

Drug discovery

Process of developing new drugs involves simulating interactions of molecules.

Quantum computers can perform these simulation much faster reducing time and cost of developing new drugs.

Question 3

Parallel computing definition

Answer 3

Multiple processors or computing devices work together simultaneously to perform a task or solve a program.

Divides task into smaller,more manageable pieces that can be executed concurrently across multiple processors.

Offer improvements in performance and efficiency for applications such as scientific simulations,big data analytics and machine learning algorithms.
