Understanding quantum and classical system interconnections
In this section, we’ll review how quantum computational systems are integrated with classical systems. As quantum computers do not have ways to store the state of a qubit, there is a dependency on classical systems to provide persistent storage for information that is sent to or received from a quantum computer.
Since most data originates from classical sources, whether they are from data repositories or remote sensors, there is a need to prepare the data to be used in a quantum system. Likewise, the results from the quantum systems need to be returned not in a quantum state but in binary form so that they can be read back to a classical system for any post-processing that’s required.
This hybrid or interconnectivity between classical systems and quantum systems is what we will be reviewing in this section so that you understand how both systems work together to provide you with the most optimal results...
