"Scientists have pondered the eventuality of the quantum computer since 1980 when quantum theory was applied to the classical Turing machine. Not only can quantum computers run one billion times faster than typical silicon-based computers, but also theoretically, they can run and consume no energy. That being true, quantum computers could obsolete the silicon chip much as the transistor did the vacuum tube. Consequently, silicon chip and computer manufacturers, the U.S. government, and Japan are directing huge sums of money for quantum computer research. This paper provides an overview of the quantum computing world, and how the dawn of the quantum computer will affect the computing industry. "
