1. Quantum computing

Quantum computing is becoming an important area in computer and information science.

2. Quantum computing in brief

Quantum computing:

Dunbar number

much faster than conventional computers
best for problems that allow probabilistic solutions
cannot solve all problems - despite the hype

[exponential speedup not clearly defined, like entanglement]qc-11

3. Quantum computing analogies

Quantum computing analogies: pick the best way

walk on foot: pencil and paper
drive by car : conventional computer (go most anywhere)
fly by jet : quantum computers (does not go anywhere, sometimes impractical)
no way to get to Mars, nearest star, etc.

4. Qubits

In quantum computing, a "qubit" or "q-bit" stands for "quantum bit" where "bit" stands for "binary digit".
