Moores Law
In 1965, Gordon Moore predicted that number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. This has held true .. So far But, this would not remain true for much longer. Fig. Gordon Moore
The ability to put transistors on chips was approaching the atomic level.
If scale becomes too small, Electrons tunnel through micro-thin barriers between wires corrupting signals.
Milestones
1982 - Feynman proposed the idea of creating machines based on the laws of quantum mechanics instead of the laws of classical physics. 1985 - David Deutsch developed the quantum turning machine, showing that quantum circuits are universal. 1994 - Peter Shor came up with a quantum algorithm to factor very large numbers in polynomial time. 1997 - Lov Grover develops a quantum search algorithm.

Representation of data- qubits dataA physical implementation of a qubit could use the two energy levels of an atom. An excited state representing |1> and a ground state representing |0>.

Superposition gives quantum computers an inherent parallelism. A 30-qubit quantum computer would equal the processing power of a conventional computer that could run at 10 teraflops.
Superposition
The particle has wave-like properties. Interference can cause the particle to act in ways that are impossible to explain without these wavelike properties. The ability for the particle to be in a superposition is where we get the parallel nature of quantum computing. If each of the states corresponds to a different value then, if we have a superposition of such states and act on the system, we effectively act on all the states simultaneously.
Reversible logic.
Reversible--their original input state can be derived from their output state, uniquely deterministic computation can be performed on a quantum computer only if it is reversible. Luckily, it has been shown that any deterministic computation can be made reversible.(Charles Bennet, 1973)
Input B 0 1 0 1
Output C 0 0 0 1
The CCN gate has been shown to be a universal reversible logic gate as it can be used as a NAND gate.
A - Target A A 0 B - Control 1 B 0 0 0 C - Control 2 C 1 1 Input B 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 A 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 Output B 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
When our target input is 1, our target output is a result of a NAND of B and C.

Entanglements.
Correlations between states within a superposition. Referred to as a parallelism of states.
Transfer of this entangled quantum state to an arbitrary distant location is tele-transportation entanglement assisted.
QUANTUM PROCESSOR
A quantum computer can do an arbitrary reversible classical computation on all the numbers simultaneously.

CONCLUSION
When processor components reach atomic scale, Moores Law breaks down. Quantum effects become important whether we want them or not. But huge obstacles in building a practical quantum computer! Making a practical quantum computing is still far in the future and is just a matter of time. Quantum Computing could provide a radical change in the way computation is performed. The advantages of Quantum Computing lie in the aspects of Quantum Mechanics that are peculiar to it This will be one of the biggest steps in science and will undoubtedly revolutionize the practical computing world.
