Question

Instruction: Identify the assumptions that must hold for the statement to be valid, then choose the correct option.

Statement: Although recent advancements in quantum computina have sianificantly improved processing speeds. the stability of quantum states remains a critical barrier to developing large-scale quantum computers for practical applications

Assumptions.

1. Quantum computing holds the potential for faster data processing than classical computing.

11. Quantum states are inherently unstable, making large-scale quantum computing unfeasible

Ill. Recent advancements in quantum computing have resolved the issue of quantum state stability

• A. Only I and Il are implicit
• B. Only II and IlI are implicit
• C. Only I is implicit
• D. All I , Il and III are implicit

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Only I and Il are implicit

The statement says:

Recent advancements have improved processing speeds, but stability of quantum states is still a major barrier for large-scale practical quantum computers.

Now check the assumptions:

I. Quantum computing holds the potential for faster data processing than classical computing.

• This is implied because the statement mentions “significantly improved processing speeds.”

• So, Assumption I holds.

  II. Quantum states are inherently unstable, making large-scale quantum computing unfeasible.

• The statement says stability “remains a critical barrier,” which assumes instability is a serious problem preventing practical large-scale use.

• So, Assumption II holds.

• III. Recent advancements in quantum computing have resolved the issue of quantum state stability.

• This directly contradicts the statement, which says stability is still a barrier.

• So, Assumption III does not hold.

Correct Answer: Only I and II are implicit.
