Abstract

By tackling the significant issues that different sectors encounter, computing advancements have proven to be essential instruments in accomplishing the sustainable development goals. Quantum hardware and quantum algorithms are two of the many subfields that make up the field of quantum computing. This innovative method makes it possible to perform calculations that swiftly solve incredibly complex problems using the fundamental physics concepts. In quantum computing, the basic unit of information is called a qubit, short for quantum bit. Qubits are able to exist in a superposition of both states at the same time, unlike classical bits that can only exist in one of two states (0 or 1). Because of this, a continuum of states between 0 and 1 may be expressed, enabling much more sophisticated information processing and storage. Quantum computing has the potential to completely transform sustainability activities by addressing issues with materials, energy, the climate, and waste management. Certain problems could be resolved by quantum computers far more energy-efficiently than by traditional computers. This technology will soon enable researchers to run simulations that will deepen our knowledge of global warming and possible solutions. Additionally, the computers will be appropriate for both optimizing the management of natural resources and conducting research into eco-friendly products. Significant sustainability potential is presented by quantum computing, especially in terms of how it will advance environmentally friendly technology and identify strategies to reduce carbon emissions. These technologies' contribution to solving the world's environmental problems will surely grow as they develop further.
