Quantum computer allows you to see “multiple futures”
Quantum computers might one day predict the future. While looking at more than 14 million possible futures remains out of reach, the quantum simulator used by Singaporean researchers proved capable of viewing 16 different outcomes. Traditional computers code data as binary digits (bits) of either 0 or 1. Their quantum counterparts store information into quantum […]
