What is the difference between quantum computer and supercomputer?

∙ 15y ago
Super computers are made for extensive and intense calculations. They are built to be able to solve humanly impossible mathematical problems in mere seconds.
N.S.A has a super computer called the "Thinking Machine". It is used to break codes. It can do in a few seconds what a Home PC will take tens of thousands of years to calculate.
Regular computers are also made for calculation, but not to the extent that super computers are designed for. Most regular computers involve word processing, calculated excel documents, and financial software. The more intensive calculations would come with graphic processing as physics require a bit of muscle, and that is why we add-on graphic cards.

∙ 11y ago- microcomputers use microprocessor ICs
- supercomputers are at least 10 times faster and have at least 10 times memory of fastest standard computer in same time period
One way to make a supercomputer is to use many thousands of microcomputers running in parallel. But that is only one way, others don't involve microcomputers at all.

What is the difference between quantum physics and physics?
Nothing. Quantum is a branch of physics
What is the difference between quantum gravity and string theory?

What is the difference between quantum physics and metaphysics?
Metaphysics is more of a philosophical theory rather than a mathematical one like quantum physics.
Is optic computer and quantum computer the same?
HECK NO! An optics computer is a computer running on light, but a quantum computer is a computer where most components are at a quantum-Hall state of matter (hey did you know that there are more than 15 states of matter). In other words, optic computer=light, quantum computer=weird.
How can you tell the difference between 1s subshell and 3s subshell?
You can tell the difference between 1s subshell and 3s subshell using quantum numbers and electron configuration.
What company was once known as Quantum Computer Services Inc?
IBM was known as Quantum Computer Services, Inc.
What is the difference between quantum mechanics and quantum physics?
Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics describing the behavior of energy and matter at the atomic and subatomic scales. It explains it itself and Quantum Physics is the same deal. They're just two different ways in saying it.
What is the Kuzyk quantum gap?
The difference between the hyperpolarizability of the best molecules ever measured and the fundamental limit.
What is the difference between the 2px orbital and the 2py orbital?
The px orbital has a magnetic quantum number value of -1, and the py orbital has a magnetic quantum number value of 0.
What type of device is a quantum computer?
A quantum computer uses quantum-mechanical phenomena to manipulate data. Still in its infancy, quantum computing is the subject of much research activity funded by both military and civilian organizations.
What is the difference between ultraviolet and infrared lights?
Wavelength, frequency, and energy carried by each photon (light quantum).
What is the difference between the previous models of the atom and the quantum mechanical model?
Previous models were physical models based on the motion of large object. The quantum mechhanical model is a matical model.
