Abstract

Quantum Computing is not only one of the fastest-growing technologies in today’s technophilic world but also a powerful and probable substitute for the classic computers in the future. The efficient harnessing of the principles of quantum theory makes quantum computers the upcoming reality of the computing world, with its effectiveness in being superfast in solving real-world complex problems adding points in its favor. However, for every bright side of a thing there exists a darker side too, and this is the case with quantum computers as well.
