Aproximaciones cuánticas de los qubits: superconductividad e iones en busca de escalabilidad.

A quantum computer is a real or theoretical computer that uses superposition and quantum entanglement states. Quantum computers can also be seen as systems that sample from quantum systems. These systems evolve to be able to process multiple probabilities simultaneously, but are still subject to strict computational constraints. In contrast, conventional (“classical”) computers operate according to deterministic rules.

Quantum computers are not yet practical for real-world applications. Physically producing high-quality qubits is challenging. If a qubit is not sufficiently well isolated from its surroundings, it becomes de- coherent, which adds noise (errors) to the calculations. National governments have made significant investments in experimental research to develop scalable qubits with longer coherence times and lower error rates. Examples of such approaches include superconductors (systems that isolate electric current by eliminating electrical resistance) and ion traps (systems that trap a single atomic particle with electromagnetic fields). These approaches are included in the article as experimental efforts toward the production of scalable qubits.

Quantum Advantage Concept

Researchers have argued that certain quantum devices can perform better than classical computers on narrowly defined tasks, and this view is widely accepted. This turning point is called quantum advantage or quantum advantage. However, these tasks are not necessarily useful for real-world applications.
