Making the leap Although it may seem that the evolution of computers is coming to an end, it is not the case. The next generation of computers quantum computers. The reason for continuing computer evolution continues we have a thirst for speed and power of our computers. Even in 1947, an engineer and computer expert, Howard Aiken, all predicted that the United States needs to satisfy its need for computers were six electronic digital computers. Other scientists and engineers who, after Aiken added in an amount to adequately evaluated as a mass, but much more conservative. What could not predict that the study will produce a large amount of knowledge required to calculate and save as to predict the popularity of personal computers, as well as the presence on the Internet. In fact, it is difficult to predict if people will never be satisfied with the computer’s power and volume. Basic software space, is called Moore’s Law says that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every 18 months and will continue to do so. What this means is that no later than 2030 the number of microprocessor circuits found in computers will be astronomically high. This will lead to the creation of quantum computers, whose designs will use the power of molecules and atoms, for processing and storage tasks. Quantum computers should be able to perform certain calculations billions of times faster than today’s computers, which can be based on silicon. Quantum computers exist today, although a few and they are all in the hands of scientists and scientific organizations. They are not practical for general use – it is still many years. Theories of quantum computers was developed in 1981, Paul Benioff, a physicist at Argonne National Laboratory. Benioff suggested going beyond the Turing Theory to a Turing machine with quantum skills. Alan Turing created the Turing machine around 1935. This car was made of the tape which unlimited length, and that it is divided into small squares. Each square either held the symbol of a symbol or a zero, not a symbol at all. He then created the reading writing device that can read these symbols zero and one, which, in turn, made these machines – the first computers – the instructions that initiated specific programs. Benioff take the quantum level, stating that the chapter be read and write both exist in a quantum state. What this means is that these tapes symbols 1 or zero could exist in a superposition, which can be one and zero at the same time, or somewhere in between. Because of this the quantum Turing machine, in contrast to the standard Turing machine can perform multiple calculations simultaneously. Standard Turing machine concept is that silicon are running today. In contrast, quantum computers encode computer information as quantum bits, called qubits. These atoms represent qubits, which are really working together to act as a processor and memory. This ability to run multiple accounts at once, but several states contain at the same time, which makes quantum computers could potentially be millions of times more powerful supercomputers, as better today. quantum computers, which are 30 qubits would, for example, have processing power equivalent to today’s computers operate at a speed of 10 teraflops (trillion operations per second.) put this in perspective, a typical computer is now the rate gigaflops (billion operations per second. As our cry for greater speed and more power from our computers continues, quantum computers are expected to be available product somewhere in the not too distant future.
