Quantum Computation

A quantum computer is a device that makes use of quantum mechanical phenomena to process data. It would enable more effective algorithms by introducing operations that are not possible in classical machines. Quantum computation is a cutting edge area of study that combines principles from computer science and quantum mechanics to revolutionize the way data is processed. The power of quantum computation lies in its ability to exploit quantum phenomena like superposition and entanglement, enabling it to solve complex problems such as factoring large numbers and searching databases more efficiently. We have not yet reached the advent of useful quantum computation, but when we do, it will affect nearly all scientific disciplines. In this paper, our aim is to provide the necessary insights for an understanding of the field of quantum computation. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Samuel A. Ajayi | Janet O.
