Quantum Computing (QC) addresses problems that are much too complex for traditional computers by using quantum physics. Paul Benioff, a physicist, coined the phrase “Quantum Computing” back in the 1980s. Since the invention of the term, we have come along a long way in the field of QC. In the 1980s, Benioff suggested a quantum mechanical model of the Turing machine. These days, QC is significantly more powerful than even the most powerful traditional supercomputer. We never know what the future will bring for QC; it's merely the beginning. Technology as a whole is neither good nor evil; how we use it is entirely up to us. The emerging field of quantum technology has the potential to disrupt a wide range of human activities. The dark side of it is that although it doesn't now have the computing power to crack encryption keys, future versions may. The underpinnings of internet privacy and commerce could be threatened. This chapter will look at QC and its fields, their state of development and what can be expected from them, how they can be misused, and its dark side.
