QUANTUM COMPUTING
APPLICATIONS:
1) Simulation: Helps in simulation of complex systems, such as interactions
between drugs, behaviour of molecules, simulation of electrochemical
batteries, etc.
2) AI and ML: Improves the handling of complex data, processing large data-
sets, improving optimization, feature extraction etc.
CHALLENGES:
1) Interference: Slight disturbance in a quantum system causes decoherence.
2) Error Correction: Even a single error in quantum computation can cause the
entire system to collapse.
3) Output Observance: Retrieving data after a quantum calculation is a
complete risk, corrupting the data.
