Quantum Computers Are More Powerful Than Current Computers

The latest research has found that “Quantum computers” are more stable than our classic computers. Previously, the Quantum computer technology was surrounded by many ifs and buts but the new research claims that they are more reliable. According to, Tom Stace, a University of Queensland physicist states that with loss of 50 percent component the Quantum computer can still work not like the present computers which would have crashed down. "Our results demonstrate that relatively large errors and losses can be tolerated, and so may confirm that quantum computers are genuinely feasible," Tom Stace said. "What our work shows is theoretically a useful quantum device can be built even if up to 10 percent of its components suffer an error, or up to 50 percent of the mponents are completely lost”, the physicist claims. "Quantum devices are very sensitive to noise in their surroundings, and their performance can be greatly impaired by errors. Our research is therefore focussed on how one could build a useful device from imperfect components”, Tom Stace adds. "This theoretical work gives a quantitative idea of how precise quantum engineering needs to be in order to make useful devices”, he said. According to Tom Stace, the Quantum computers are much more powerful than the current computers and can be of great help in the field of banking where security of transactions is paramount.
