Quantum Technologies are defined as a class of technologies that harness the principles ofquantum mechanics(the physics ofsub-atomic particles), which include two fundamental principles:superpositionandentanglement. Superposition Entanglement Entanglement is when thestate of one particleautomatically tells you the information about thestate ofits companion. Superposition is the meaning that a quantum particle canbe inmultiple statesat thesame time. CLASSICAL COMPUTING QUANTUM COMPUTING Quantum computers use qubits(quantum bits) that are neither0 nor 1 but both at the sametime. They useparallelprocessing, harnessing multiplepossibilities simultaneously (e.g.,dots in the sphere). Classical computers use bits(binary information), renderingeither 0 or 1 as a state ofinformation. They usesequentialprocessing, processing onepiece of information at a time. Originally, when flipping two coins simultaneously, theoutcomes were independent of each other, with a 50%chance of having either heads or tails. Now, imagine you and your friend have entangled coins.Your coins are now correlated! This meansno matterwhere you are, the outcome (heads or tails) willautomatically give your friend’s outcome.

What Are the Differences Between Quantum Computers? The quantum computing family can be analysed in two different blocks: Analog Quantum Computers Digital Quantum Computers Gate-Based Data are stored as quantum bits Quantum Annealing Computers Analog Quantum Simulators A quantum annealer is a type ofquantum computer that aims to solveoptimization problems. Are specialized devices that mimicthe behaviour of complex quantumsystems, such as molecules ormaterials. FTQC NISQ (Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers)Error correction and fault tolerance aremanaged (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum)Noerror correction with a few noisy qubits INSIGHTS INSIGHTS Digital quantum computers, also known as gate-based systems, manipulatequantum bits (qubits) using a sequence of discrete quantum logic gates, similarto classical digital computers. This gate-based model offers greateruniversality and programmability, enabling the execution of a wide range ofquantum algorithms, such as Shor’s or Grover’s, making it more suitable forgeneral-purpose quantum computation. Analog quantum computersuse continuous quantum dynamics to solvespecific optimization problems by evolving a physical system toward itslowest energy state. This approach is generally more specialized and lessflexible, but can be effective for particular classes of problems likecombinatorial optimization.
