Abstract

Computers have become an indiscipline part of our lives nowadays due to their versatile uses. The advent of computers took place due to the need of efficient mathematical computations. Solving complex problems and running complex algorithms requires powerful processors. Even these powerful processors come with a few limitations and fail to solve problems like simulation of atoms and molecules, solve multi-dimensional computational spaces. This aroused the need for even more efficient and powerful computing systems leading to the rise of quantum computers. The quantum computers are based on laws of quantum mechanics which allows them to leverage the benefits of various principles like Superposition, Coherence, Entanglement. The Quantum computers use qubits unlike bits which are used in computers and can explore multiple states parallelly thereby decreasing computation time exponentially. Multiple domains and fields will benefit from the usage of quantum computing like medicine, finance, logistics, artificial intelligence, and weather forecasting, ushering in a new era of scientific discovery and technological advancement. The paper provides insights into the developments of quantum computing, its underlying principle and the potential it holds.

Keywords- Quantum computing, Qubit, Superposition, Entanglement.
