Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) are an emerging technology that leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to generate truly random numbers. As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, there is an increasing need for strong, quantum enhanced cryptography and security solutions. QRNGs can play a pivotal role in strengthening data protection and privacy in our digital world. […]

Introduction Google, IBM and Rigetti are three of the leading companies at the forefront of developing quantum processors. In this article, we will compare and contrast their different approaches. Overview of quantum computing Quantum computers use qubits (quantum bits) instead of regular bits used in classical computers. Qubits can exist in a superposition of 0

Quantum computing is an exciting and rapidly advancing field that leverages the strange properties of quantum mechanics to perform computations in powerful new ways. However, there are several related terms like “quantum simulators” and “quantum emulators” that can cause confusion about what quantum computing actually entails. This article will clarify the differences between these quantum

There are several leading approaches to building quantum computers, with two major ones being gate-model quantum computers and quantum annealing. Though both leverage quantum effects, they have fundamental differences. How Quantum Computers Work To understand the distinctions between gate-model and annealing quantum computers, we must first grasp how quantum computers function differently than classical ones.

Introduction to quantum states Quantum states, also known as wave functions, describe the condition of a quantum system. There are two main types of quantum states – pure states and mixed states. The key difference between them lies in whether the system can be described by a single wave function. Let’s explore this difference further.
