Background of the Study
Weather forecasting plays a crucial role in agriculture, disaster management, and everyday life. Accurate weather predictions enable governments, businesses, and individuals to prepare for various weather conditions, such as storms, droughts, and temperature fluctuations. Traditional weather forecasting relies on complex mathematical models and simulations that require significant computational power. However, the accuracy of these forecasts is limited by the capabilities of classical computers, which can struggle to handle the vast amounts of data and complex calculations involved in weather prediction (Jones & Lee, 2024).
Quantum computing, with its ability to process large datasets and perform parallel computations, has the potential to revolutionize weather forecasting by providing more accurate predictions. The application of quantum algorithms to weather models could lead to faster processing times, more precise simulations, and better predictive accuracy. Taraba State University, Jalingo, could benefit from exploring the use of quantum computing in improving weather forecasting for the region. This study will investigate the potential of quantum computing to enhance the accuracy and reliability of weather forecasts in Taraba State, focusing on the application of quantum algorithms to weather prediction models.
