Abstract
Abstract
Quantum computing, a fancy word resting on equally fancy fundamentals in quantum mechanics, has become a media hype, a mainstream topic
in popular culture and an eye candy for high-tech company researchers and investors alike. Quantum computing has the power to provide faster,
more efficient, secure and accurate computing solutions for emerging future innovations. Governments the world over, in collaboration with
high-tech companies, pour in billions of dollars for the advancement of computing solutions quantum-based and for the development of fully
functioning quantum computers that may one day aid in or even replace classical computers. Despite much hype and publicity, most people do
not understand what quantum computing is, nor do they comprehend the significance of the developments required in this field, and the impact
it may have on the future. Through these lecture notes, we embark on a pedagogic journey of understanding quantum computing, gradually
revealing the concepts that form its basis, later diving in a vast pool of future possibilities that lie ahead, concluding with understanding and
acknowledging some major hindrance and speed breaking bumpers in their path.
