A Comprehensive Study of Quantum Computing: Principles, Applications and Its Impact on Future Technologies

Abstract

“Quantum computing” marks a ground breaking change in the field of computing by using quantum mechanics, like superposition and entanglement, to process data. Quantum computing represents a contemporary method of computation grounded in the principles of quantum mechanics and its astonishing phenomena. It is an exquisite fusion of physics, mathematics, computer science, and information theory. It offers significant computational capability, reduced energy usage, and exponential speeds compared to traditional computers by manipulating the behaviour of tiny physical entities, such as microscopic particles including atoms, electrons, photons, and so on. It reveals the potential of quantum computers that can affect our lives from different perspectives such as cyber security, traffic management, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and numerous others.
