According to different researches, it is found that the performance
of the computers are improving by in every 18 months.
In every 18 month period, the number of transistors per chip used on the processors are
doubled.

In the case of traditional computers that use memory made up of bits. In this scenario,
each bit is represented by either a zero or one.

whereas in the case of the quantum computer, it maintains a sequence of qubits. This
qbits are able to represent one, zero, or any of the quantum superposition of those two states.
Quantum computers leverage the strange quantum ability of subatomic particles that
help them in having more than one state at any given instant of time. Due to this ability of the
particles computation operations can be done much faster as well as requires a lesser amount
of energy compared to the traditional computers.
For traditional computers, a memory bit is able to hold a single bit of piece of
information. Therefore, they are only able to have one of the following two states – 0 or 1. =
In Quantum computing it uses 'qubits' instead. These qubits can have more than two states.
However, with this ability, they can store much more information compared to the usual bit.
This is possible as they can exist in any superposition of these values.
One of the Best Performing Quantum Computers available presently is the DWAVE
2000Q. Opposed to the traditional Central processing unit the Quantum Computer Consist of
QPU (Quantum Processing Unit)
The QPU D-Wave is developed from a lattice of metal niobium loops. Each of this
loop is one qubit that helps in processing. Niobium metal acts as a superconductor below the
temperature of 9.2 Kelvin and thus exhibits quantum effects.
After reaching quantum state, current flows in two directions at the same time, which
helps the qbits to get in superposition. which means the particles can now have both 0 and 1
state at a given instant.
When the problem-solving process completed then the qbits loses its superposition
and at the ned collapses into the traditional one of the two states, 0 or 1.
