Quantum computing is an emerging paradigm that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to solve computational problems beyond the reach of classical computers. This article provides an overview of the fundamental concepts of qubits, the distinctive features of quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement, and the challenges of building scalable, fault-tolerant systems. It surveys key quantum algorithms and their potential applications in fields including cryptography, optimization, finance, chemistry, and machine learning. Additionally, it highlights the importance of verification frameworks for ensuring the reliability of quantum programs. A literature review of significant contributions is presented, drawing insights from recent surveys on quantum algorithms, qubit technologies, and software verification approaches. The article concludes by discussing ongoing challenges, such as error correction overhead, hardware scalability, and verification complexity, and suggests directions for future research.
Keywords: Quantum computing, qubits, quantum algorithms, quantum verification, error correction, Quantum applications
