ABSTRACT

The ability of a quantum computer to solve traditional NP problems in polynomial time has drawn a lot of attention. Quantum computing originated from the ideas of classical information theory, computer science, mathematics, and quantum physics. In the context of quantum computing, this chapter provides an overview of ternary logic (multiple-valued logic) in quantum computing. Knowledge of quantum principles transformed the conceptualization of the atom, which consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. Early models depicted electrons as particles that orbited the nucleus, much like the way satellites orbit Earth. Any science concerned with systems that display noticeable quantum-mechanical effects, where waves have particle qualities and particles behave like waves, is referred to as quantum physics. Quantum mechanics has applications in both explaining natural events and designing technology that relies on quantum effects, such as integrated circuits and lasers.
