1. Introduction to Quantum Computing Quantum computing (QC) is a new computing paradigm based on principles of quantum mechanics. Like classical computers, quantum computers are used to process information. Classical computers use transistors as the basic building block for information processing. The information is represented with a combination of “0” and “1” bits, determining the OFF/ON state of a transistor. Generally, transistors work with current flow, where “0” represents no current flow, while “1” represents current flow. A combination of bits connected through logic gates designs a circuit to perform specific tasks. Information processing in classical computers is entirely deterministic, where the output is exactly determined only by the input 1 . Significantly, quantum computers process information differently from classical computers. Quantum computers use an isolated quantum mechanical system to represent and process information. While a classical bit can only be “0” or “1”...

  1. Introduction The widespread availability of the Internet has provided opportunities for the development of social media in modern society. Starting from the emergence of Friendster in 2002, social media has now proliferated in various models and forms such as Facebook, MySpace, hi5, Bebo, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Tumblr, LinkedIn, and many more. Each social media has its uniqueness, but essentially all of these social media have the same core function as a means to socialize and communicate with other people personally, directly, and publicly. With a little touch of difference in character and function, social media has become an integral part of daily life. The growing community of internet users, especially Facebook users in the last five years has made social media a form of public space in modern society (Ghifrani Alimin, 2024) . Public space is a space that is open to everyone, and any discussion in public space can involve all affected parties without exception. In a pu...

   1. Introduction to Quantum Computing Computers and computer-based systems are used in just about everything, including but not limited to everyday applications, banks, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, etc. During the early stages, computers were made using electromechanical switches which were bulky, slow, and involved many mechanical failures. This changed with the invention of transistors which changed the world of electronics. Transistors are small, fast, and inexpensive compared to mechanical switches and are capable of more complex calculations. A similar transition is about to happen in computing with the development of quantum technologies. Quantum computing is the generation of computational systems based on the principles of quantum mechanics. Quantum computing is fast, and complex and can model the quantum system. Quantum systems consist of quantum states manipulated using quantum gates resulting in quantum algorithms. Wave functions characterized by probability amplit...
