Please briefly describe these two new active areas of research in processing technologies: Quantum computing and DNA computing.
What will be an ideal response?
Quantum computing proposes the manipulation of quantum states to perform computations far faster than is possible on any conventional computer. A quantum computer doesn't use bits, but instead uses a fundamental unit of information called a quantum bit or qubit. The qubit displays properties in adherence to the laws of quantum mechanics, which differ radically from the laws of classical physics.
DNA computing, or molecular computing, is a promising new technology emerging from nanotechnology and based on DNA. Israeli scientists built the first "programmable molecular computing machine," composed of enzymes and DNA molecules, that can perform 330 trillion operations per second-more than 100,000 times the speed of the fastest PC.
