You don't need to jump into the details here, but the researchers show that even a shallow quantum computer can easily outperform a classical computer in solving this problem.
And it's that additional room you get, because qubits can encode any number and not just zeros and ones, that allows them to be more powerful than a classical computer in solving the specific kind of problem that the researchers tackled.
These simple molecular computers inspired by the Turing machine, of which a trillion can fit into a microliter, do not compete with electronic computers in solving complex computational problems; their potential lies elsewhere.
Although in theory quantum computers will be much faster than classical computers in solving certain kinds of problems, in practice the technology is still in its infancy, and researchers and businesses are still overcoming a number of technical hurdles for practical quantum computing.
May include computer use in solving problems.
The grant was intended to explore the role of computer graphics in solving the social, spatial, and urban problems of the American city.
With these clouds, students and researchers can efficiently use the already existing resources of university computer networks, in solving computationally intensive scientific, mathematical, and academic problems.
A distributed system [ 3] is a setup in which several independent computers (computing nodes) participate in solving the problem of processing a large volume of and variety of structured/semi-structured/unstructured data.
Citizen science and crowd-sourcing have recently demonstrated the contributions that can be made by non-professionals (for example, online computer game players) in solving complex scientific problems such as protein structure prediction [ 28].
Before long, Dr. Ledley was working directly with the SEAC and focusing on the role that computers might play in solving biomedical problems.
In Apple's 1980 prospectus, the company described itself like this: "Apple Computer, Inc. designs, develops, produces, markets and services microprocessor-based personal computer systems for individual use in solving computing problems commonly encountered in business, education, science, engineering and in the home".
