How a quantum computer solves a problem
Process map by Brian. 13 steps, 2 layers. Tags: science, tech, computing.
- You: Frame a problem for a quantum computer
- Qubits: Prepare qubits in superposition: both 0 and 1
- Quantum gates: Entangle them so they share a fate
- Quantum gates: Apply gates so wrong answers cancel and right ones reinforce
- Measurement: Measure: the qubits collapse to 0s and 1s
- A classical computer: Repeat many times and collect the results
- A classical computer: Is one answer clearly the most common?
- You: That is the answer
- Quantum gates: Adjust the circuit or use error correction
