Brief description of the Research Design –
The current research deals with the future
of quantum computing. In future, it will be
beneficial to optimize various problems.
Besides, another profitable and immediate
use of it is optimization. It is helpful in the
field of weather and climate modelling. This
would be helpful for weather scientists to
forecast on various patterns of near-term
perfectly. Moreover, would allow Big
Pharma to predict the ways in which
various molecules can react with drugs.
This specs up pharmaceutical
developments and then lowering of prices.
Then effective quantum computer
assimilated with machine learning would
process efficiently. The survey would open
the door towards findings thousands of
planets every day in future. Further,
computers would be helpful to devise
materials and chemicals [2]. Next, the study
would determine how quantum computers
are helpful to machine learning using
messier and leer data with few instructions.
Moreover, it is helpful in encryption. The
quantum computer intends to encrypt keys
within an hour. Lastly, the research would
be helpful to understand the real-time
translation of language.
However, quantum computers are unable
to develop any accurate assessments in
long-term climate. This is in predicting the
impacts of climate change. While
conventional supercomputers has been
making strides in decoding DNA in cost
effective manner, the mircrpbiome is far
beyond the reach. This is a failure for future
of quantum computers. Further, current
technology does not assure that the
quantum computers can make meaningful
discoveries of planes regularly. As the
quantum computers are versed well, all the
industries can be at risk. At the worst it can
endanger the complete economy of the
world, till the quantum encryption is kept
at pace [3].
Who will be recruited to do the work –
In this study, a survey is made on the future
status of quantum computers systems and
simulators .Here the survey is to be done
on various engineers of IT organizations.
This must include online survey.
However, it must be reminded that
realizing the efforts of quantum computers
have just started. Hence more intensive
research is needed in physical realization of
components of quantum computers. The
computer engineers and scientists must
consider different architectural solutions

for the quantum computers. This must also
include different practice quantum
algorithms to advance the state of art for
quantum computers [1].
What do you expect your data to look like –
Here statistical survey results are to be
retrieved with data analysis plan. The
sorting and analyzing of data must include a
making sense of quantitative data. This
must be done from looking at answers and
concentrating on the top research
questions and goals of survey. This to
crunch the numbers and drawing the
conclusions. The survey statistics and
analysis indicates the analysis of accuracy.
Here, the inevitable addition and
subtraction would come into action.
Particularly, this indicates the survey
outcomes that are accurate under specific
level of confidence and not because of
random choice. Here, drawing inference on
the basis of results that can be accurate or
not significant statistically can be at risk.
Here, the initial factor is to consider the
analysis of statistical significance [5]. This is
the representatives of the sample. This
indicates to what extent the team of people
taken in the survey would “look like”,
compared to the overall population of
people for whom the conclusion is drawn.
As the survey sample is selected randomly
from the known population, the statistical
significance can be measured in
straightforward way. Here, the main factor
is the sample size.
The researchers would be trying to see the
hardware that can facilitate algorithms of
quantum. Here, there has been no
definitive answer for the material in which
the qubit is been made of. This can dictate
the method for application of operations. It
is probable that working on quantum
computers will use the assimilation of the
candidates instead of the kind of candidate.
However, the candidate winning for
quantum computers are not been even
found still. Besides, one can be likely yje
user of quantum computer that cannot be
operating directly over the device [6].
