Quantum computing, based on the theory of quantum mechanics, revolutionizes information processing with amazing computational power. This article addresses quantum computing and discusses its current and future advances. First, it defines quantum computing and explains qubits, quantum entanglement, and quantum gates. Next, it discusses the recent decade's technical advances in qubits, quantum supremacy, and key experiments. It also examines quantum algorithm's applications in cryptography, drug and gene discovery, material design, optimisation, and ML to demonstrate its potential to advance development. However, practical quantum computing confronts significant error rates, scalability limitations, and ethical concerns. This study examines these challenges and their solutions and preventives. It predicts quantum computing technology's growth, impact on many industries, and societal effects. This study seeks to improve knowledge of quantum computing and understanding quantum computing's limitations and prospects may improve it and create a new information processing method.
