Quantum Computing

English (en)

Quantum Computing
Quantum comes from Latin, meaning 
"an amount" or "how much?" If 
something is quantifiable, then it 
can be measured. Quantum refers to 
a general quantity or size, it is 
most often used in physics as a 
measure of the smallest amount of 
something — usually energy — that 
something can possess. 

Quantum computers are ideal for a 
higher level of task, e.g., running 
simulations, analyzing data (such as 
for chemical or drug trials), 
creating energy-efficient batteries.
