Quantum Computing for Real-Time Big Data Analytics
Introduction The exponential growth of data in the digital age has pushed classical computing to its limits, particularly in real-time big data analytics, where speed, scalability, and efficiency are paramount. Quantum computing, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, offers a paradigm shift in computational power, promising to address challenges that classical systems struggle with. This chapter explores how quantum computing can transform real-time big data analytics, enabling faster processing, enhanced optimization, and breakthroughs in data-driven decision-making. Understanding Quantum Computing Quantum computing operates on quantum bits, or qubits, which differ fundamentally from classical bits. Unlike classical bits that represent either 0 or 1, qubits can exist in a superposition of states, allowing them to represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously. This property, combined with quantum entanglement and tunneling, enables quantum computers to perform complex comput...
