Quantum Horizons: Shaping the Future of Computing Authors Bannishikha Banerjee Amity Institute of Information Technology, Kolkata https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4848-8749 DOI: https://doi.org/10.64383/irjss.AUG240802 Keywords: Quantum Computing, Smart Technologies, IoT Abstract Quantum computing, a transformative technology poised to revolutionize multiple sectors, is emerging from the realm of theoretical physics into practical application. Unlike classical computers, which process information in binary bits, quantum computers utilize quantum bits or qubits, enabling them to perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds. This leap in computational power has the potential to solve problems currently deemed intractable, such as complex optimization issues, large-scale simulations in chemistry and material science, and advanced cryptography. As quantum hardware and algorithms continue to evolve, we foresee significant advancements in fields like artificial intelligence, where quantum computing could enhance machine learning models and data processing capabilities. However, this transition is fraught with challenges, including qubit stability, error correction, and the need for a new programming paradigm. Leading technology companies and research institutions are heavily investing in overcoming these hurdles, signalling a new era of innovation. The integration of quantum computing with classical systems may also lead to hybrid models, unlocking further potential. As we stand on the cusp of this quantum revolution, the future promises a profound impact on science, technology, and society, driving us toward solutions that were once the domain of science fiction.
