Which problem is more effectively solved using quantum computing rather than classical computers?
A. Large database searches
B. Multiplication of integers
C. Sorting elements on a list
D. Rearranging terms in equations
The Correct Answer is A. Large database searches.
Quantum computers are capable of complex calculations that would take hundreds of years on conventional computers to perform in a matter of seconds. Additionally, they will enable businesses to sample huge amounts of data for analysis and optimization. Quantum computers also offer quick integration, diagnostics, and detection from many data sources. They can quickly search through vast, unsorted data sets for patterns (using Grover's Search Algorithm, for instance). All of this will alter how we see and handle data, enabling us to grow and improve.
