Abstract
Quantum computation, the ultimate goal of future computing, is an interesting field for researchers. The concept of quantum computation is based on basics of quantum mechanics. A quantum computer is a device for computation that makes direct use of quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. The basic principle behind quantum computation is that quantum properties can be used to represent data and perform operations on these data. A quantum computer operates by manipulating the qubits with a fixed sequence of quantum logic gates. The sequence of gates to be applied is called a quantum algorithm. The field of quantum computation algorithm is fast moving and the scope is vast. Major quantum algorithms are summarized in this paper along with their applications.
