Abstract

Quantom computation is a new approach based on the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations .Quantum computation uses unique behaviors of quantum physics to solve problems that are too complex for classical calculations .Theoretically , the connected inverters can use the interference between wave quantum states such as themselves for computations that may take millions of years .The potential use of these calculations is widespread and is used in areas such as cryptography , finance and drug discovery .With the implementation of quantum computing , several industries can be transformed . Although quantum computing can create a large transformation in the encryption and security system, they can be a threat to the privacy and digital information in the world .The reason for this is that quantum computers can easily break the toughest modern code .In this article, we intend to analyze and examine the new achievements of quantum computing in the field of information and communication technology, challenges and prospects.
