Quantum computers are quite thoroughgoing in how they approach the problem solving dynamic. Quantum computers shy away from the traditional transistor methodology and opt for spins. The hype around quantum computers is unmatched, they have been dubbed as'The Cancer, aging and death solvers', some go as fare as calling them the'ultimate hackers' and will break RSA encryption. Well I am currently playing with these babies, specifically the IBM quantum computers and will share what I have learned so far. Traditional computers process tasks using binary 101100, lets imagine this as a heads and tales system with a coin.

This was not just any math problem. On Wednesday, Google said its researchers had performed a calculation that the largest supercomputers could not complete in under 10,000 years. And they had done it in 3 minutes 20 seconds. With that calculation, the company said, its research lab in Santa Barbara, Calif., achieved a milestone that scientists had been working toward since the 1980s -- a breakthrough called "quantum supremacy" that could allow new kinds of computers to do calculations at speeds that are inconceivable with today's technology. The long-sought breakthrough could have implications for national security and cryptography and even pave the way for the creation of new medicines.
