October Meeting - Computer Society Pikes Peak Chapter - Quantum Computing Tutorial Part 1 of 2

#Quantum #Computing; #Memory; #Data #Storage

This is the first of a two part tutorial on Quantum Computing by Dr. Trung T. Pham, from the Department of Computer Science at USAFA.  The first part will be in October and the 2nd part will be the subject of our November meeting.

The first session will be an Introduction to Quantum Computing and in November the topic will be an Application of Quantum Memory

Session Details:

In the first session in October is an Introduction to Quantum Computing, basic concepts of using quantum bits to represent analog data is presented, with the logical operators traditionally developed for binary data being extended to process quantum bits of data. These operators will serve as guidelines for hardware developers to design basic quantum computing units that can be combined into a complex quantum computer.

The second session in November will focus on developing a specific Application for Quantum Memory to hold data in a superimposing fashion so that an infinite amount of data can be stored without ever running out of memory space. The application is a concept in evolution, developed for storing digital images into the memory bank consisting of many quantum bits. Instead of using the traditional concept of data storage in a digital computer where a block of memory is used to store only one set of data and afterward this block is reserved so that no further storing is possible, this application proposes to use the same block of quantum memory to store new data repeatedly and indefinitely. Thus, algorithms for storing and retrieving data are developed, and numerical simulations are presented to demonstrates the workability of the concept.
