Abstract

Quantum computing plays a major role in modern computation. It can perform operations exponentially faster when compared to classical computation. It has applications in various areas like Secure communication, Drug design, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber security, etc. Thus the researchers and students are showing interest to perform experiments in quantum computing to design novel architectures. But to learn/understand quantum computing, one should have strong knowledge of its basics. Because quantum computing performs operations at the atomic level, so the learners need to understand basic concepts like Qubits, Superposition, Quantum gates, etc. Therefore this chapter gives a clear idea about the basic concepts of quantum computing like Qubits, Superposition, Entanglement, Teleportation, and Quantum gates.

Motivation And Objective

Quantum computing has many advantages in various fields like Chemistry, Mechanics, Security, Communication, Machine learning and many more. Due to this the research in this area has been increased. Even in many universities and college, Quantum Computing has been introduced as a subject. But the major problem for the students and researchers who are willing to work in this field are lack of basic knowledge in Quantum Computing. In Quantum, operations are performed based on the reversible computation. Even all the quantum gates are developed based on the reversible concept only. So for a new comer it is very important to understand reversible computation and quantum gates in order to develop Quantum circuits or algorithms. Hence it motivated us to write a chapter on Basic principles of Quantum computing, Reversible computation and Quantum gates. The major contributions of this chapter are as follows:
