Abstract  

     In the realm of cutting-edge technologies, quantum computing stands as one of the most revolutionary and promising fields. While classical computers have served us well for decades, they are reaching their limitations when faced with complex problems like optimization, cryptography, and simulating quantum systems. Quantum computing harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot, opening the door to new possibilities in various domains. Quantum computers can solve problems that are impossible or would take a traditional computer an impractical amount of time - a billion years to solve.

     Since the early 20th century, when the atom was first investigated, quantum physics has defied logic. It turns out that atoms do not apply the standard principles of physics. Quantum particles have the capacity to "teleport," move through time, and exist in two places at once. The goal of quantum computers is to exploit these unusual behaviors. At the heart of quantum computing lies the concept of qubits, which are the quantum counterpart of classical bits. While conventional bits can only represent a 0 or a 1, qubits can simultaneously exist in both states. This unique property allows quantum computers to perform multiple calculations at once, offering a potential for exponential speedup in specific tasks.
