concept of the Qauntum Computer

Project description
1. Research and summarize the concept of the Qauntum Computer and explain the concept of the Qubit as opposed to the traditional bit. Assess the viability of actually

building one of these contraptions and identify some of the main physical/engineering barriers that exist to actually building one of these devices.
2. Research and explain in more detail than given in the lecture pages how a Molecular switch works and what the prospects are for building a molecular computer that

makes use of these switches.

3. Explain how a laser diode functions and what advantages this device has for transmitting information through fiber optics.
