Quantum Computing: A Primer

Matthew N. O. Sadiku, Mahamadou Tembely, Sarhan M. Musa

Abstract


Quantum computing relies on quantum physics.  It takes advantage of the inherent ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Increased interest from both private and public sectors has solidified this technology as a major advancement in the 21st century.  Every year quantum computing comes up as a candidate for the Breakthrough Technologies list, but quantum computers merely exist on paper.  This paper provides a brief introduction on quantum computing to young researchers and newcomers in the emerging field.
