In this chapter, quantum computing is recognized as an emerging field that holds great promise for solving problems that are currently intractable for classical computers by controlling some sort of small computers. Here we present an intro to the application of quantum mechanics around us as well as some major ideas about quantum computing. Moreover, it will use qubits to preserve and process the data, and when used in tandem, they have so much more effective memory. They have the capacity to process exponentially large amounts of data and possess quantum properties like superposition, entanglement, and interface. In this abstract, we will provide an overview of the principles of quantum computing and the challenges associated with building qubits that are reliable and resistant to errors. We will discuss the different types of qubits that have been developed, including superconducting qubits, ion trap qubits, and topological qubits. We will also explore the different error correction techniques that have been proposed for mitigating the effects of errors in quantum computing systems. It is best to study the beginnings, potentials, and constraints of the current traditional computing before concentrating on the implications of the exploration of a general-purpose quantum computer and the potential of rapid technological advancement. This knowledge aids in our comprehension of potential obstacles to the creation of novel, cutting-edge technology. It will also provide us with information about the ongoing advancements in this area.
