Quantum Computing: Principles, Evolution, Applications, and Future Prospects
Shabarimuthu P, Vijay Anand .R
Quantum computing is an advanced computational paradigm that leverages principles of quantum mechanics, including superposition, entanglement, and interference, to process information more efficiently than classical systems [1][2]. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, enabling exponential computational capabilities for complex problem-solving. Since its theoretical foundations proposed by Richard Feynman and further developed by David Deutsch, quantum computing has progressed into an active research and industrial domain [2][3]. This paper presents an overview of the core concepts of quantum computation, technological evolution, and key algorithms such as Shor’s and Grover’s, which demonstrate significant computational advantages [9][10]. It also explores major application areas including cryptography, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and optimization, while addressing critical challenges such as decoherence, error correction, and scalability [5][6]. The study highlights future prospects, emphasizing the potential of quantum computing to transform scientific and industrial domains [12][15].
