The rapid development of computing hardware has been driven by an ever-emerging need for high throughput, scalable performance, and computation capabilities to be able to address increasingly complex problems. The paradigm of classical computing, centered on deterministic binary logic and the von Neumann architecture, has long favored modern information processing and still supports a wide range of applications. However, physical limits in scaling transistors, power dissipation, and slowing down Moore's Law have stimulated the consideration of alternative computing paradigms. Quantum computing is now an emerging means that exploits the basic principles of quantum mechanics-such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference-to enable new forms of computation. This review study discusses a comparison between the classical and quantum computing systems in operational paradigms, architecture structures, performance characteristics, and application domains. This work is supported by a systematic review of the established theories, currently realized hardware implementations, and representative algorithms. The analysis underlines that classical systems remain very reliable, scalable, and efficient in general-purpose and deterministic workloads, while quantum systems ensure essential advantages in specified problem classes, such as cryptography, quantum chemistry, combinatorial optimization, and selected machine learning tasks. The study concludes that classical and quantum computing are best viewed as complementary technologies. Future high-performance computing platforms will most likely be based on hybrid-classical–quantum architectures in which quantum processors serve as specialized accelerators to help classical systems solve new computational challenges.
This article comprehensively examines the conceptual and practical aspects of two fundamental directions at the peak of the hierarchy of modern computing technologies — classical supercomputers and quantum computing systems. The relevance of the research is explained by the rapid growth of data volumes and the fact that traditional silicon technologies have reached their physical limits. The first part of the article analyzes the history of supercomputer development, their multi-core parallel architecture, and operating principles based on logical bits. Simultaneously, the technological limitations of such systems, including high energy consumption and cooling requirements, are highlighted. The second part explores the laws of quantum mechanics as the theoretical foundation of quantum computers, specifically the impact of superposition and entanglement phenomena on computing efficiency. The fundamental differences between classical bits and quantum bits (qubits) are scientifically justified, alongside the revolutionary potential of quantum algorithms (such as Shor’s and Grover’s algorithms) in traditional cryptographic and search systems. In the final section, a comparative analysis of these two powerful systems is conducted regarding processing speed, energy consumption, fault tolerance, and practical application areas. The research results indicate that quantum computers will not entirely replace classical supercomputers in the near future; instead, they will facilitate the formation of hybrid computing models. The article is intended for industry specialists, students, and those interested in the evolution of high technologies.
ABSTRACT Quantum computing represents a fundamental shift in the way computational problems are approached and solved. Unlike classical computing systems that rely on binary bits to process information, quantum computing utilizes quantum bits, or qubits, which exploit principles of quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement. This transition from classical bits to qubits has opened new possibilities for solving complex problems that are computationally infeasible for traditional systems. This paper explores the evolution of computing paradigms from classical architectures to quantum-based models, highlighting the theoretical foundations and technological advancements that have driven this transformation. It discusses the core concepts of quantum computing, including qubit representation, quantum gates, and computational models, along with an overview of current quantum hardware architectures. Furthermore, the paper examines key application areas such as cryptography, optimization, artificial intelligence, and scientific simulations, where quantum computing demonstrates significant potential. Despite its promise, quantum computing faces substantial challenges related to hardware stability, error correction, scalability, and resource requirements, which are also analyzed. Finally, the paper outlines future research directions and the potential impact of quantum computing on next-generation information processing systems, emphasizing its role in redefining the boundaries of modern computation.

Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize the future of advanced computational systems, offering unprecedented speed and efficiency for solving complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Traditional computational models, based on bits representing either a 0 or 1, are approaching their physical and performance limits. Quantum computers, however, leverage the principles of quantum mechanics—specifically, superposition and entanglement—to operate on quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This capability allows quantum systems to process vast amounts of data in parallel, potentially solving problems in seconds that would take classical systems millions of years. As the demands on computational systems grow in fields like cryptography, artificial intelligence (AI), drug discovery, and materials science, quantum computing offers solutions that can overcome the bottlenecks faced by classical computing architectures. This paper explores the foundational principles of quantum computing, its advantages over classical systems, and its potential applications in various industries. Additionally, we analyze the current challenges that quantum computing faces, such as error rates, quantum decoherence, and hardware scalability. We also consider the future trajectory of quantum computing, including the potential for quantum supremacy and the development of hybrid quantum-classical systems. Although quantum computing is still in its nascent stages, with practical quantum computers requiring further advancements in qubit coherence and error correction, its future impact on computational systems is undeniable. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of how quantum computing is shaping the future of computational systems, detailing the technologies, applications, and challenges ahead. With continuous technological advancements, quantum computing has the potential to redefine global industries, solve previously unsolvable problems, and fundamentally alter our understanding of computation in the coming decades.
Quantum computing leverages quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition, entanglement and interference to solve classes of problems that are intractable on classical machines.This paper unifies three complementary perspectives: (i) the central role of complex matrices in modelling quantum states, gates and error-correction protocols; (ii) the pervasive use of trigonometric functions in qubit representation, phase manipulation and the quantum Fourier transform (QFT); and (iii) a systematic comparison of classical and quantum computing paradigms with illustrative circuits and real-world applications.By integrating these dimensions, the study provides a consolidated reference that elucidates the mathematical foundations, circuit constructions, algorithmic advantages and practical challenges that define contemporary quantum information processing.

Beginning with an analysis of the fundamental quantum mechanical principles—superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference—the article elucidates how these phenomena enable exponential computational advantages for specific problem domains. Various physical implementations of qubits are evaluated, including superconducting circuits, trapped ions, photonic systems, and theoretical topological approaches, with each platform presenting unique advantages and engineering challenges.
