Abstract: Quantum computing is a modern way of computing that is based on the science
of quantum mechanics and its unbelievable phenomena. It is a beautiful combination of
physics, mathematics, computer science and information theory. It provides high
computational power, less energy consumption and exponential speed over classical
computers by controlling the behavior of small physical objects i.e. microscopic particles like
atoms, electrons, photons, etc. Here, we present an introduction to the fundamental concepts
and some ideas of quantum computing. This paper starts with the origin of traditional
computing and discusses all the improvements and transformations that have been done due
to their limitations until now. Then it moves on to the basic working of quantum computing
and the quantum properties it follows like superposition, entanglement and interference. To
understand the full potentials and challenges of a practical quantum computer that can be
launched commercially, the paper covers the architecture, hardware, software, design, types
and algorithms that are specifically required by the quantum computers. It uncovers the
capability of quantum computers that can impact our lives in various viewpoints like cyber
security, traffic optimization, medicines, artificial intelligence and many more. At last, we
concluded all the importance, advantages and disadvantages of quantum computers. Smallscale quantum computers are being developed recently. This development is heading towards
a great future due to their high potential capabilities and advancements in ongoing research.
Before focusing on the significances of a general-purpose quantum computer and exploring
the power of the new arising technology, it is better to review the origin, potentials, and
limitations of the existing traditional computing. This information helps us in understanding
the possible challenges in developing exotic and competitive technology. It will also give us an
insight into the ongoing progress in this field.
