Abstract

Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize science and technology by harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations far beyond the reach of classical computers. This article introduces the foundations of quantum computing, including qubits, superposition, and entanglement, and highlights its transformative potential across domains such as cryptography, material science, drug discovery, and climate modeling. The discussion also addresses current technological limitations, progress in quantum hardware, and the implications of achieving quantum supremacy. As global investment surges, quantum computing is emerging as a pivotal field reshaping our understanding of computation and problem-solving.
