Hi, I welcome you all to topic week of unleashing the power of quantum computing from theory to practical application. My name is Emmanuel Samir Harris, and it's a pleasure to present my presentation before you for this conference, that is conference 42, Quantum Computing 2023. So let's get started. Unleashing the power of quantum computing from theory to practical application quantum computing has the potential to revolutionarize the world of computations. In this presentation, we'll explore the basic of quantum computing, its practical application, and future development. Quantum computing basic okay, let's start with the basic. As everything has a basic, so even quantum computing has basics. Quantum bits, qubits that what we call quantum bits or qubits, is a fundamental unit of quantum information. Unlike classical bits, which can only have two states, zero or one, qubits can exist in a superposition of both state at once. This gives quantum computations the potential to perform certain calculations much faster than classical computers since they can process many possible inputs simultaneously. Qubits can be implemented in various physical system such as ions, superconducting circuits, or even individual photons. However, qubits are subject to various sources of noise and error, which can make it difficult to maintain their delicate quantum states as a long period of time. As a result, much of quantum computing research is focused on developing error correction techniques and improvement the quality of qubits. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exit in superposition of states, allowing for multiple calculation to take place simultaneously. Let's come to the second thing. These second thing is of quantum mechanics. Quantum computing makes use of principle quantum mechanics, including entanglement and tunneling. Quantum mechanics is these branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scale, such as atoms and subatom particles. It includes concepts such as wave particle duality, superposition, and entanglement, which are fundamental to our understanding of quantum computing. While quantum computing is still in its early stage of development, researchers believe that it has the potential to revolutionarize fields such as cryptography, material science, and drug discovery. As the technology continues to improve, we may see more and more application of quantum computing in coming years. The third a brief history from the first quantum algorithm proposed by Richard Feynman in 1982 to the development of the first quantum computers in the 1990s, the field of quantum computing has made great stride in recent years. Let's continue more below. A brief history of the quantum computing quantum computing has been an activity area of research since the 1980s, when the physicist Richard Heyman first proposed the idea of using quantum systems to stimulate quantum phenomena more efficiently than classical computers. In 1994, Peter Shaw develops a quantum algorithm that could factor large number of exponential faster than any known classic algorithm, demonstrating the potential of quantum computers to solve problems that are intracellible for classical computers. In the year followed, shore algorithm researcher develop a number of other quantum algorithms such as a Grover's search algorithm and the quantum simulation algorithm. The first experimental demonstration of quantum computing were also carried out in the 1990s using system such as nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR and iron traps. Since then, the field of quantum computing has continued to grow rapidly with the development of new hardware architectures, programming languages and quantum algorithms. Notably, milestones include the creation of the first five qubit and 16 qubit quantum computers by IBM in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and the development of fault tolerant quantum error correction codes by several research groups. Despite the progress in quantum computing, many challenges remain. One of the biggest challenges in the development of large scale, fault tolerant quantum computers, which will require significant improvement in qubit quality and error correction technique. Nevertheless, researchers remain optimistic about the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize fields such as cryptography, material science, drug discovery in the coming years. Popular quantum algorithm shows algorithm we have Grover's algorithm and quantum machine learning. Let's go through them one by one. Shows algorithm shows algorithm is a quantum algorithm for integer factorization. It allows for efficient factorization of large number which has important applications for cryptography. Many encryption schemes rely on the fact that factoring large number of computations difficult for classical computers. However, Shore's algorithm shows that this problem can be solved quickly on a quantum computer, which would render many current encryption method insecure. Grover's algorithm Grover's algorithm is a quantum algorithm for searching an unsorted database. It can speed up search problems by an exponential factor, making it a powerful tool for optimization. For example, if you had a database of nth items and you want to find a particular item, a classical computer would need to search through all n items one by one, taking O n and a time. Grover's algorithm, on the other hand, can solve the problem in o square at n time, which is significant speed up for large databases.

Let's move and discuss about this part. Quantum computing qubits are highly sensitive to noise and external disturbances, which can lead to error and degrade the performance of quantum computations. These errors can arise from factors such as environmental interaction, imperfection in hardware computers, and inherent fragility of quantum state. As quantum computers become large and more complex, the occurrence of error becomes increasingly likely, hindering the reliable execution of quantum algorithm. To overcome these challenges, error correction techniques and quantum error correction code has been developed. Error Correction is a critical aspect of quantum computing as it allows for the detection and mitigation of errors, thereby preserving the integrity of quantum information and enabling reliable quantum computation. Quantum error correction code are specialized coding schemes that are designed to detect and correct errors in quantum states. These cases provide redundancy by encoding quantum information in such a way that error can be detected and corrected without directly measuring the fragile quantum state. The most well known quantum error correction code is the surface code which is cases on a two dimensional grid of qubits. By applying a set of carefully designed operations, the surface code can detect errors that occur during quantum computation and enable their correction. Other cases such as the color code and topological codes are also being explored for their error correcting capabilities. Quantum error correction codes are essential for achieving fault tolerant quantum computation where errors can be effectively managed and suppressed by encoding quantum information redundantly and use error correction code. Quantum computers can operate reliably even in the presence of noise and errors, highlighting the needs for error correction and quantum error correction code underscores the significance of developing robust techniques to handle error in quantum computing. System error correction course provides a pathway towards scalable and fault oriented quantum computers and ensure the accuracy and fidelity of quantum computations.
