在云计算之后，有一个新的流行语^(buzzword)席卷了科技爱好者的脑海——量子计算^{(Quantum Computing)}。该技术虽然处于起步阶段，但在未来具有很大的前景。因此，研究人员正在进行实验以充分利用机器的潜力。研究人员声称，量子^(Quantum)计算可以解决经典计算永远无法解决的难以想象的大而复杂的计算机问题。

什么是量子计算？

有些问题是如此困难，如此庞大，以至于即使世界上所有的计算机共同工作，它们也无法解决。出于这个原因，正在开发量子计算机，以尝试比平板电脑、智能手机和笔记本电脑等传统计算机更快地解决问题。^(Quantum)

这一理由促使微软^(Microsoft)在加州^(California)大学^(University)圣巴巴拉分校^{(Santa Barbara)}的校园内开发了一个量子计算研究设施——“ Station Q ” 。该设施吸引了数学、科学和计算机科学领域的知名人士——理论家和实验家。

Station Q的小组认为，量子计算是三个不同学科——数学、物理学和计算机科学——的接口。因此^(Hence)，来自不同科学领域的专家齐聚一堂——Station Q。^{(Station Q)}

Microsoft Research Station Q页面显示技术研究员^{(Technical Fellow)}Michael Freedman说，

“Our lab combines researchers, theorists, and experimentalists from mathematics, physics, and computer science, and we partner with academic and research institutions around the globe. Quantum computing is a field of research that applies the principles of quantum physics and new directions in materials science to building a new type of computer that uses quantum effects in computation.”

他们进一步补充说，量子计算操作是在非常少量的量子比特上执行的。准确地说，量子^(Quantum)计算机在量子比特或量子^(qubits)比特上运行。由于量子态的奇异特性（如叠加），一个量子位可以是 1 或 0，或者它可以同时作为 1 和 0 运行。如果一个量子比特，同时作为一个 1 和一个 0，可以同时进行两次计算，那么两个量子比特可以进行四次计算，事情很快就会呈指数增长。

挑战在于探索应用拓扑效应的方法，使量子位更加健壮，以便在计算过程中来回传递信息时不会受到干扰，即使丢失了单个量子位。一个量子比特可以受到MAJORANA^(MAJORANA)等准粒子的拓扑保护。科学家们正在利用所有的可能性来证明马约拉纳^(Majoranas)人具有拓扑特性并首先证明它们的存在。

对量子计算的追求不仅限于微软^(Microsoft)。谷歌^(Google)等其他科技巨头也纷纷效仿。从经典计算跃升到量子计算的前景隐约可见。

What is Quantum Computing?

After cloud computing, there’s a new buzzword hitting the minds of tech enthusiasts – Quantum Computing. The technology, although in its infancy,  holds great promises in the future. Therefore, experiments are being conducted by researchers to exploit the machine’s full potential. Quantum computing, researchers claims could solve unimaginably large and complex computer problems that classical computing could never crack.

What is Quantum Computing?

There are some problems so difficult, so incredibly vast, that even if all the computers in the world worked collectively they would fail to solve it. Quantum computers for this reason are being developed to try and solve problems quicker than classical computers such as tablets, smartphones and laptops.

This rationale has prodded Microsoft to develop a quantum computing research facility – ‘Station Q‘ on the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara. The facility attracts notables from mathematics, science, and computer science – theorists and experimentalists alike.

The group at Station Q believes quantum computing is an interface on three different disciplines – mathematics, physics, and computer science. Hence, experts from diverse fields of science are united under one umbrella – Station Q.

Microsoft Research Station Q page shows Michael Freedman, Technical Fellow, as saying,

“Our lab combines researchers, theorists, and experimentalists from mathematics, physics, and computer science, and we partner with academic and research institutions around the globe. Quantum computing is a field of research that applies the principles of quantum physics and new directions in materials science to building a new type of computer that uses quantum effects in computation.”

They further add that quantum computational operations are executed on a very small number of qubits. To be precise, Quantum computers run on quantum bits, or qubits. Because of the bizarre properties of a quantum state, like superposition, a qubit can be a 1 or a 0 – or it can operate as both a 1 and a 0 at the same time. If one qubit, as both a 1 and a 0, can do two calculations at once, then two qubits can do four, and things get exponential pretty quickly.

The challenge lies in exploring ways to apply topological effects to make qubits more robust so that there is no disturbance in passing information back and forth during a computation even if there is a loss of a single qubit. A qubit can be topologically protected by quasi-particles such as MAJORANA. Scientists are exploiting all the possibilities to show that Majoranas have topological properties and prove their existence in the first place.

The quest for quantum computing is not limited to Microsoft alone. Other technology heavyweights, like Google, have also been following suit. The prospect of jumping from classical computing to quantum computing looms large.
