Quantum computing represents a radical shift in computing technology, harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems that are infeasible for classical computers. Unlike classical bits, which represent information as either 0 or 1, quantum bits (qubits) can exist in a superposition of states, enabling them to process vast amounts of data simultaneously. This has the potential to revolutionise fields like cryptography and artificial intelligence.

As quantum computing continues to advance, its ability to solve complex problems exponentially faster than classical computers could lead to breakthroughs in a variety of industries, from finance to healthcare, to material science. Understanding the foundations of quantum computing is essential for anyone wishing to stay at the forefront of technology and innovation.Quantum computing is an emerging field of computer science. It will be a multidisciplinary field covering various properties of computer science, physics, and mathematics that utilizes quantum mechanics to solve complex problems faster than classical computers. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to do the following:

• Define Quantum Computing Technology
• Classical vs Quantum Computer
• Discover Real Life Applications of Quantum Computers
• Understand Fundamental principle of Quantum Computing
