Abstract
The concept of a quantum computer and the idea of using the power of quantum mechanics to build one have been around for long; however, it was only in the 1980s that this project looked viable. Since then, many advances have made it possible to build quantum processors with hundreds of qubits. The article introduces this topic and touches upon what can be achieved with a functional quantum computer. It also outlines the intervening challenges in building one. It sets the stage for the technical discussions proffered in the subsequent articles.
期刊介绍：
Started in 1914 as the second scientific journal to be published from India, the Journal of the Indian Institute of Science became a multidisciplinary reviews journal covering all disciplines of science, engineering and technology in 2007. Since then each issue is devoted to a specific topic of contemporary research interest and guest-edited by eminent researchers. Authors selected by the Guest Editor(s) and/or the Editorial Board are invited to submit their review articles; each issue is expected to serve as a state-of-the-art review of a topic from multiple viewpoints.
