Quantum Computing Is Not a Myth.

  In recent years, some big tech companies like IBM, Microsoft, Intel, or Google have been working in relative silence on something that  sounds great:  quantum computing . The main problem with this is that it is difficult to know what exactly it is and what it can be useful for. There are some questions that can be easily solved. For example, quantum computing is not going to help you have more FPS on your  graphics card  at the moment. Nor will it be as easy as changing the CPU of your computer for a quantum to make it ‘hyperfast’. Quantum computing is fundamentally different from the computing we are used to, but how? What is the origin of quantum computing? At the beginning of the 20th century, Planck and Einstein proposed that light is not a  continuous wave  (like the waves in a pond) but that it is divided into small packages or quanta. This apparently simple idea served to solve a problem called the “ultraviolet catastrophe”. But over the year...
