Why quantum computers are faster?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have read dome articles about that but still I am confused about parallel processing (and how it is related to superposition)?
Does it mean that we use all linear combinations of the eigenstates of a qubit in the same time? So in contrast to bit, qubit is a unit of information with infinite states, which can be used simultaneously. s this correct?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
