Silicon Electronics is the staple food in the computer industry, but now researchers are exploring other methods to ensure the powerful computers.

Quantum computers is a theoretical device which use the properties of quantum mechanics, physics, which deals with energy and matter at the atomic scale.

In a quantum computer data will not be processed electronic transistors, as is the case with today’s computers, but also cells of atoms known as quantum bits or qubits.

“There is a new paradigm for computing,” said Artur Ekert, Professor, University of Oxford. “We calculate differently.”

Beat a unit of information is “1″ or “0″ in the conventional electronic computers.

Qubit can also be a “1″ or “0″, but in principle can and things at once – known as superposition.
