Pragati Gupta is a PhD student with the Quantum Science and Technology Group at the University of Calgary. In this episode of the PAM Talks, we’re diving into the fascinating world of quantum computing as undergraduate student Emina Hafiz interviews Pragati about her research in quantum computing.
Quantum computing is a developing technology that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to make computers that will be able to rapidly solve some of the types of problems that are challenging for classical computers to solve efficiently. Instead of using classical bits, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits. What makes qubits special is that they can exist in multiple states at the same time. It's like having a light switch that can be both on and off simultaneously! This property is an example of superposition. Because of superposition, a quantum computer can perform many calculations at the same time, making it potentially much more powerful than a classical computer for certain types of problems.
