We do have some quantum computers in place, but they are still unreliable

Today, our life is so different in comparison to the end of the 20^th century. Gone are the days when our mobile phones had small screens, keyboard mounted on the body and was limited to just making calls and messages. Today, we are at a stage where mobile phones are way more powerful than desktop computers. With the advent of technology, we are now all set to embark on a journey to build the next-generation computer. This is exactly where the concept of "quantum computers" comes into play.

The main idea behind this is to solve problems that "classical computing" could not. Not one, not two but there seems to be many areas where classical computing seems to have not worked in our favour. Though, we do have some quantum computers in place, they are still unreliable as far as the demands are concerned. Today, we get to see giant market players like IBM, Google, Microsoft, etc. in the race of building the first powerful quantum computer. Though this is an expensive invention, companies are not hesitating from pouring in so much money because they know that the advantages offered last an eternity. Today, the aim is to build a quantum communication system that doesn't communicate bits and bytes, but quantum states that quantum computers can understand. The reason why this is important is because we are in a position to build up a quantum version of the internet.

Quantum AI, in addition to being smart and fast also boasts of an advantage of "superposition." Considering the fact that classical AI works in a black box, Quantum AI stands the potential to exploit superposition to operate in many black boxes at once.

That said, how about being prepared for a World War 3 well in advance? It is highly likely that the US takes up every possible step to pre-emptively win World War 3 and before the perceived enemy nations could even react.

As known to all, today the computers employ binary logic to address the yes-or-no questions. But with quantum computers, the scenario will be a lot different. They wouldn't be limited to just yes-or-no questions. They'll hold the potential to determine the confidence factor for a given operation. A lot is being speculated about the first huge powerful quantum computer that is soon going to make its entry into the world of technology.

One of the researchers at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a Department of Energy research lab for the US government,Prasanth Shyamsundar described two new types of algorithms that could revolutionize quantum computing. Well, not just this. These algorithms can lead to a quantum brain for military AI systems as well.

He talked about how one of the two algorithms allows the same AI to sort through the entire stack of albums at the same time. The second algorithm can assess how "jazzy" the stack is as a whole. This algorithm would allow the scientists to estimate the average rating of all the records. In a nutshell, both these algorithms allow for a range of outputs to more accurately characterize information with a quantum speedup – contrary to what classical computing methods do. Prasanth Shyamsundar's paper represents the groundwork towards basic functioning quantum algorithms.
