photo: Julius Silver Lately, it's very likely that every other day one stumbles upon articles about technology, AI and such matters. Little is mentioned about quantum computing, though. What is quantum computing? It is what the terminology includes and stands for. Computing based on quanta and quantum energy -- meaning small packets of energy which can be either absorbed or radiated. Gone are the days when computers used to depend on algorithms and standard methods of analysis and straightforward, linear, mechanical computing. Now, there are other ways by which a computer can reach to an answer or a conclusion/deduction other than (linear) calculations. Imagine a whole new world of endless possibilities lying ahead especially if we were to combine this new kind of technology with artificial intelligence and green, renewable resources of (powering) energy (e.g. sunlight, geothermal energy). Facebook makes use of D-wave quantum computers. These computers are ex...
