Nanotechnology in Quantum Computing

Question: Discuss about the Nanotechnology in Quantum Computing. Answer: Area of Research Project The Quantum computing is the computation system, which involves the quantum mechanical phenomena to execute the complex calculations. Quantum computing is the system of computing by applying the superposition and entanglement processes (Wolf, 2015). The research project will focus on the invention of new generation computer, which will be in the hands of the users very soon. The future computer will be different from the present day computer, which use of silicon chips and bandwidth variation. This trend will be changed very soon, when the computers will be formed with applying the nanotechnology. As opined by Barends et al. (2016), the desktops and the laptops will then be converted into wooden pegs and balls attached to sticks by strings. This nanotechnology will shrink the size of the silicon chips and will improve the computing speed and power with parallel processing. If the computing speed will be increased, then people can be able to complete their works within very short dura tion. It will enable them to perform multiple tasks within a little tenure and will help in the development too. Therefore, this research project will shed light on the application of the nanotechnology in the quantum computing. The benefits of using this new computing system will enable to increase the speed of the people in future. This research project will explain the application procedure of the nanotechnology and its application on the quantum computing to invent the future computers. Conceptual foundation of the topic The science has advanced itself on a regular basis and has reached in this much with the help of the invention of computers. Computer has made the life very easy for the people to perform any work. The research will analyse the progression of the computers until present. The past computers, which were invented from the first to fifth generation, have been working on the binary digital electronic algorithms (Veldhorst et al, 2014). In contrast with this, the quantum computers are working on the quantum algorithms presented by various scholars. The most discussed scholar on this topic is Peter Shor, who has presented a quantum algorithm to calculate the prime factors of large numbers. Accordion to Hameroff, (2014), this calculation process will depends on the quantum bits of the computer. However, it is opposed by Weber et al. (2014), using this algorithm in the various quantum systems sometimes not helps the user to use a certain amount of quantum bits in a scalable way. The future quantum computers will not work on the principle of binary systems, which use only the 1s and 0s, rather it will use the qubits or quantum bits (Barends et al, 2016). The power of magnetic forces at a subatomic scale will allow running free the exponential power of future computers. Scientists and researchers have been dreaming for the artificial intelligence and computational neural networks (Veldhorst et al, 2014). After inventing these quantum algorithms, the dream can be true in the reality. The speed of processing has made the computing faster and it store the data with the manipulation of atom rotation. The first achievement of this nanotechnology was found when the worlds smallest transistor was built in 2012 by accurate positioning of just a 0.5 nanometre single phosphorus atom. It was a revolutionary step to move forward to the latest developments in the computing. According to Barends et al. (2014), the recent advancements include the two aspects of the quantum technology, its behaviour and other advancements. Scope of research The research project will reveal the scope for the invention of future computer, which will reduce the performance time of the users. The future computer will enable the users to compute complex calculations within a limited period as well as will also decrease the mental involvement of the users. It will be examined whether the use of nanotechnology can give birth to the artificial intelligence, which will change the world as well as the human society. It has analysed, if the future computers will be developed by using the quantum algorithms, then those Future computers will not have the RAM or DRAM. Instead of these, it will be made of MRAM (Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory) (Wolf, 2015). Additionally, the use of qubits and qubytes will increase the processing power exponentially. Along with this, the present day gigaflops will be replaced by the teraflops, exaflops, petaflops and lumaflops (Hameroff, 2014). The research project will also enlighten the communication system, wh ich will diminish the geopolitical boundaries. It will also initiate the space travel; improve the medical technology and every day-to-day activity. This project can be used as secondary source in future.
