"Quantum technologies are difficult to understand, but that will not stop the disruption this set of emerging technologies will bring in the next few years!" -- Kevin Coleman
What is Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing is an area of study focused on the development of computer based technologies centered around the principles of quantum theory. Quantum theory explains the nature and behavior of energy and matter on the quantum (atomic and subatomic) level. Source: TechTarget.com

Fun Fact!
Quantum computing requires extremely cold temperatures. To that end, IBM has built and demonstrated a huge “super-fridge” codenamed Project Goldeneye that chills things colder than outer space.A brief history of quantum computing by Markus C Braun via Medium
The spark of quantum computing was struck by Richard Faynman. In 1981 at MIT, he presented the following quandary: classical computers cannot simulate the evolution of quantum systems in an efficient way. Thus, he proposed a basic model for a quantum computer that would be capable of such simulations. With this, he outlined the possibility to exponentially outpace classical computers. However, it took more than 10 years until a special algorithm was created to change the view on quantum computing, the Shor algorithm.
