Organizational Readiness for Quantum Computing

Abstract

Quantum Computing: Classical Computing (Todays Common Computer) - Built on binary logic of bits (0 or 1) represented by binary physical property. Quantum Computing - Built on quantum bits (qubits) which can be in a superposition of two states at the same time. Represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Superposition Coin Toss Analogy - Classical computer represents coin as only heads or tails after coin lands. Quantum computer can represent coin as both heads and tails at the same time while it is flipping in the air.
