Quantum Computing – a new hype?

Abstract

Quantum Computing is a key technology of the 21st century. Currently we are in the middle of the second quantum revolution. Nearly a century ago Albert Einstein, Nils Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and many others laid the foundations of quantum physics. Any attempt by a computer scientist to understand these physics will most probably fail. This technology is now in the process of entering the world of computers. The opinions about quantum computing today range from “not even started” to “totally successful”.
