Abstract: Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift in computational theory and hardware architecture, leveraging subatomic phenomena to process complex information beyond the limits of classical supercomputers. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental principles governing quantum computing, contrasts its architecture with classical paradigms, outlines modern hardware implementations, and explores real-world applications. Furthermore, this paper presents a mathematical exposition of quantum interference, detailing the mechanics of constructive and destructive amplitude adjustments that power quantum algorithms.
