Sentences with phrase «than conventional computers»

This would allow a universal quantum computer to be millions of times faster than any conventional computer when solving a range of important problems.

Such a technology would perform calculations using the laws of quantum mechanics, making for computers much faster than conventional computers at certain tasks such as database searches and code - breaking.

It was only slightly more accurate than a conventional computer would have been at the same problem.

This can make a quantum computer exponentially faster than a conventional computer.

Although still orders of magnitude slower than conventional computers, bubble logic can operate about 100 times faster than existing microfluidic chips, the researchers say.

Using the quantum property of superposition, quantum computers will be able to find target items within large piles of data far faster than conventional computers ever could.

But because electron spins offer one of the most promising models for quantum bitsphysical states that can store far more information than conventional computer bitsscientists have sought ways around the coherence problem.

The new chips have the potential to be orders of magnitude more efficient than a conventional computer, according to Rajit Manohar, an electrical and computer engineer at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., and member of the DARPA collaboration.

Quantum computers, which have yet to be built, would be able to do many more calculations simultaneously than conventional computers can.

In one set of recent tests, the D - Wave One was slower than a conventional computer.

Quantum computers theoretically could be billions of times faster than conventional computers.

This property is central to quantum cryptography, where it allows two people to be sure a secret key they shared was not intercepted, and to quantum computing, as entangled bits occupy a superposition of two or more states at once and so can be used to solve some problems much faster than conventional computers.

«There is an enormous gap between demonstrating some kind of quantum effect in eight qubits, as they have done here, and saying that they have a 128 - qubit chip that can perform a computationally interesting task faster than a conventional computer,» he says.

In that way it will be much faster than conventional computers and will be able to solve tasks that can not currently be solved, because it simply takes too long,» says Charles Marcus.

Scientists have long been trying to create quantum computers that exploit the inherently unstable nature of quantum particles, or «qubits,» and can therefore perform operations many orders of magnitude faster than conventional computers.
