1.) Understand quantum computing and quantum computers!

Quantum computing is a field of information technology concerned with applying the laws of quantum mechanics to the processing of information. Unlike traditional computers, which are based on bits that can assume either the state 0 or 1, quantum computers use so-called quantum bits or qubits. Qubits can assume multiple states at the same time due to the principles of superposition and entanglement.

Here are some important concepts related to quantum computing:

Superposition: A qubit can be in different states at the same time, allowing computations to work in parallel.

Entanglement: Entanglement allows qubits to be linked together in such a way that the state of one qubit depends on the state of another qubit. This enables greater computing power and offers potential for quantum parallelism.

Quantum parallelism: By combining superposition and entanglement, quantum computers can perform certain calculations much faster than classical computers. This makes them particularly suitable for tasks such as factoring large numbers, which play a role in cryptography, or simulating quantum systems, which are useful in materials research and medicinal chemistry.


Quantum computers have the potential to solve some problems that are virtually unsolvable for traditional computers. This is particularly true for complex optimization problems, simulations of quantum systems and cryptographic applications. Companies and research institutions around the world are working hard to develop quantum computers, but still face major technical challenges in making this technology widely available.




2.) Are there already quantum computers that work?


Yes, there are already some working quantum computers. However, these quantum computers are still in the experimental stage and are significantly more limited in terms of their performance and reliability compared to conventional computer architectures. Here are some examples of organizations and companies that have developed and deployed quantum computers:

IBM: IBM offers access to its quantum computers through the IBM Quantum Experience Cloud platform. Here researchers and developers can carry out experiments with real quantum computers.

Google: Google developed the so-called “Sycamore” quantum computer in collaboration with the University of California at Santa Barbara and in 2019 claimed to have solved a task that is practically unsolvable for classical computers.

Rigetti: Rigetti is a company that specializes in the development of quantum computers and also offers cloud access to its systems.

Honeywell: Honeywell has also invested in quantum computing and claims to have one of the most powerful quantum computers commercially available.

D-Wave Systems: D-Wave has developed quantum computers that are based on so-called quantum annealing technologies and are used for specific optimization problems.


Although functional quantum computers already exist, they still face significant technical challenges in increasing their performance and reliability. The development of quantum hardware and software is an active field of research, and quantum computers are expected to play an increasingly important role in various application areas in the future as the technology advances.



The quantum computer!



Quantum computers are computers that use quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. They differ from binary digital electronic computers based on transistors. Common digital arithmetic requires processing data in binary digits (encoded bits), each of which is always in one of two specific states, 0 (ZERO) or 1 (ONE)!
