ABSTRACT = {Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Science seem very
promising and developing rapidly since its inception in early 1980s by Paul 
Benioff with the proposal of quantum mechanical model of the Turing machine 
and later By Richard Feynman and Yuri Manin for the proposal of a quantum 
computers for simulating various problems that classical computer could not. 
Quantum computers have a computational advantage for some problems, over 
classical computers and most applications are trying to use an efficient 
combination of classical and quantum computers like Shor’s factoring algorithm. 
Other areas that are expected to be benefitted from quantum computing are 
Machine Learning and deep learning, molecular biology, genomics and cancer 
research, space exploration, atomic and nuclear research and macro-economic 
forecasting. This paper represents a brief overview of the state of art of quantum 
computing and quantum information science with discussions of various 
theoretical and experimental aspects adopted by the researchers.},
