Abstract
Contemporarily, quantum computing has emerged as a promising field, offering potential breakthroughs in various computational tasks that are currently limited by classical computing. With this in mind, this study delves into the principles of quantum computing, exploring the fundamental concept of quantum entanglement and its implications for computation. After outlining the historical development and research significance of quantum computing, this research presents an overview of the latest advancements in the field. The paper then focuses on the principles of quantum computation, including the use of qubits and quantum gates, illustrated with relevant mathematical formulations and diagrams. Furthermore, this study discusses the state-of-the-art applications of quantum computing, showcasing recent achievements and results obtained from these cutting-edge technologies. A comparative analysis with traditional algorithms highlights the advantages and potential gains offered by quantum computing. Finally, the current limitations of quantum computing are discussed and the insights into future research directions and prospects are proposed for this exciting field.
