Quantum Computing


What is quantum computing?
Quantum computers could spur the development of new breakthrough in science, medications to save lives, machine learning methods to diagnose illnesses sooner, materials to make more efficient devices and structures, financial strategies to live well in retirement and algorithms to quickly direct resources such as ambulances.

A new kind of computing:-
We experience the benefits of classical computing everyday. However, there are challenges that today's systems that will never be able to solve. For problems above a certain size and complexity, we don't have enough computational power on earth to tackle them.

To stand a chance at solving some of these problems, we need a new kind of computing. Universal quantum computers leverage the quantum mechanical phenomena of superposition and entanglement to create states that scale exponentially with number of qubits (quantum bits)

A quantum computer harnesses some of the almost-mystical phenomena of quantum mechanics to deliver huge leaps forward in processing power. Quantum machines promise to outstrip even the most capable of today's ans tomorrow's supercomputers.

They won't wipe out conventional computers though. Using a classical machine will still be the easiest and most economical solution for tackling most problems. But quantum computers promise to power exciting advances in various fields, from materials science to pharmaceuticals research. Companies are already experimenting with them to develop things like lighter and more powerful batteries for electric cars, and to help create novel drugs.

The secret to a quantum computer's power lies in its ability to generate and manipulate quantum bits or qubits.

“The one where I lost a FRIEND”

  “ So no one told you life was gonna be this way, Your job is a joke, you're broke, Your love life is D.O.A, It's like you're always stuck in second gear, When it hasn't been your day, your week your month, Or even your year… but…. I'll be there for you, When the rain starts to pour, I'll be there for you, Like I've been there before, I'll be there for you, Cause you're there for me too” The song might sound familiar to lot many, and for those who don't know what I'm talking about will understand in few minutes, just hang in there… The story dates back to 2022, when I was all alone and the darkness in my mind hovering over my intrusive thoughts. I was surviving on anti-depressants and multiple therapies since last couple of years. Wandering through the browsers and social media, i discovered something I didn't knew I needed. It was the sitcom series F.R.I.E.N.D.S, I know it's childish but guess what!!! I bought yearly Netflix subscri...

Why and how “70 hours work a week” is violation of International Labour Standards

Recent statement by the founder of Infosys, Mr. Narayan Murthy “youngsters should work atleast 70 hours a week for the better” evoked controversies in corporate world and among the youth. The statement in itself is debatable and controversial and raged anger among the youths, saying “its for the company’s benefit and not for youth. Why is it a violation? With the twitter blowing up with tweets with mixed opinions, they believe Mr. Narayan Murthy made a factually incorrect statement that extended working hours helped advanced countries like Germany and Japan to succeed. Second, he placed the burden of increasing productivity on the shoulder of workers when the reality is that they have underinvested in innovation, the critical factor for raising productivity. Third, Mr. Narayana Murthy’s 70-hours week proposal violates  International Labor Standards (ILS) , the  International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Decent Work Agenda  and its  Fundamental Conventions  that l...
