Abstract
Quantum computing is a new and emerging field which shows great promise. It abandons the traditional approach of using transistors to store and update logical data, instead using subatomic particles(most often electrons) for the same purpose. The aim is to introduce the topic of quantum computing in a manner which would prove understandable to the reader by eliminating unnecessary jargon. The necessity of using quantum computing in order to keeping up with current advancements and the needs of new computing systems will be made apparent. The field of quantum computing is relatively new and much of the research and effort going into developing it is nascent. If the potential can be harnessed, however, the prospects of using quantum computers to solve problems which cannot be solved using their traditional counterparts hold great promise.
