Today's post will be about the future of future processors. Its capability of quenching our thirst for speed and computing capacity spreads far from the horizon of silicon chips. Behold the introduction of Quantum Processors...
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a microprocessor doubles every 18-24 months, the year 2020 or 2030 will find the circuits on a microprocessor to be measured on an atomic scale. And the logical step would be to create quantum processors which will harness the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and processing task (Bonsor & Strickland,n.d). Quantum computers have the potential to perform calculations way faster than any silicon-based computer.

On the atomic scale, matter obeys the rule of quantum mechanics which are quite different from classical rules that determine the properties of conventional logic gates. Quantum technology can offer much more than cramming more silicon and multiplying clock speed of processors. It can supply entirely a new kind of computation with new algorithms based on quantum principles.
Following on, I will be discussing on quantum bits called qubits and its difference from classical bits. Plus, I would also discuss briefly on how quantum processors work and its giant leap ahead of today's processors.
