Abstract

Quantum computers once only existed in dreams and science fiction. Now, they are very much a reality. With quantum computers entering the market, questions are being asked. What is a quantum computer? What does it do? What are some of its features? And what is the future of quantum computers? This paper presents an analysis of quantum computers’ purpose, functionality, and future uses.
