INDIANAPOLIS — Across the nation, a technological revolution is underway. AI and data centers are at the helm. As they face growing opposition in Indiana, a new tech is starting to emerge: Quantum computing — and Indiana plays a big role. Quantum companies are pushing to roll out quantum technology around the world. China and the United States are some of the major players. But in the state, universities and quantum companies are partnering with tech giants like IBM, Google, and Microsoft to make quantum discoveries. In Indiana, there is a drive to connect quantum technology to a variety of fields, from the government and pharmaceuticals to data centers across the state. One company, Quantum Corridor, say they're doing that right now. But why? What makes quantum computing special? A Quantum Breakdown Classical computing is what people use now. It relies on bits to process and store information; they can either be 0 or 1. Think of them working in a chain, only having the ability to go back and forth. This is what's in your laptop, phone, or tablet. Quantum computing uses qubits, they can be 0, 1 or both simultaneously. They obey a completely different law of physics, allowing for complex problems to be solved. Instead of working inside of this chain, they can move freely, not only back and forth but around it. Opening the door for endless possibilities. "That really opens the window to a lot of different types of calculations that we could run in theory that were not possible before," IBM Quantum's global lead for content and education, Olivia Lanes, said. In theory, quantum computing will be able to do this at record breaking speeds, but it's unclear the extent to which it's happening now. IBM has set a timeline for their computing, with
