An introduction to quantum computing

We are living through a data era, with several technologies sharing symbiotic relationships with each other. Of all the exciting technology paradigms, quantum computing has the potential to create disruption at scale. The principles of quantum physics, which are the bedrock of quantum computing, have been around for over a century.

An understanding of the evolution of quantum Physics is interesting because of the personalities involved and their contradicting philosophical views. However, the history of this field also gives us an insight into the counter intuitive nature of these concepts that challenged even the brightest minds. This chapter focuses on the story of quantum computing, and touches upon some of the basic principles of this technology.
