Future Effects
Quantum Cryptography & Security
Algorithms for
optimisation problems
like factorising large
numbers.
Effect this may have
on current encryption
techniques
Using Ideas of Quantum
Mechanics to transfer
information. (Polarisation
of light)
Speed of computation
Huge Investment in Quantum
Computation from companies like Google
and IBM as well as institutions like the US
government.

Qubits
Using the spin of an electron as the Qubit to store
and compute information
Using Photons as Qubit
Quantum Vs Classical
Classical Binary system vs a system
that can use superposition to have
the option of 1/0/1&0
Schrodinger's Cat Though Experiment
Classical Computers will almost certainly remain
the fastest way to complete ordinary task -
Quantum computing will only be useful for
specialist tasks.
