Abstract

Contrary to classical computer which store data using the digital bits 0 or 1, quantum computer use quantum bits (qubits) for coding information as O, 1, or 01 at the same time. In fact this superposition of states with the other quantum phenomena enables quantum computers to operate vast combinations of states at once. In this study, we analyze the impact of quantum computing in the simplification of classical computing complexities using in computer science. In fact, we focus on the effectiveness of quantum algorithms in different filed classical computer.
