The document presents information on quantum computing and the potential of quantum computers. It discusses how quantum computers make use of quantum mechanics, quantum bits, quantum gates, and quantum parallelism. While several prototypes have been built, significant technical challenges remain before a large-scale, general-purpose quantum computer can be realized. The document suggests that a practical quantum computer may still be decades away.

13. All quantum computers to date are fancy laboratory ideas!
No one knows if we will be able to make a Quantum computer suitable for real life
use in near future.
At the same time researchers understand the boost that Quantum computers
are goanna provide us if ever we could make one.
Several technical problems will delay the realization of a quantum computer
atleast by a few decades.
Though it's realization is a nightmare , optimism might do wonders.
