Quantum computers operate on the principles of quantum logic, a fundamentally distinct paradigm from classical Boolean logic. This disparity leads to quantum computation's enhanced efficiency compared to classical computing. In this comprehensive review, we demystify the fundamental concepts of quantum computation, covering the creation of elementary gates and networks. We highlight the capabilities of quantum algorithms by examining the simple Deutsch problem and, in straightforward terms, dissect the renowned Shor algorithm for factoring large numbers into primes. Furthermore, we delve into the realm of physical quantum computer implementations, with a particular focus on the linear ion trap approach. Here, we shed light on the primary challenge hindering the realization of practical quantum computers: the issue of decoherence. Nonetheless, we demonstrate that this hurdle can be overcome through the application of quantum error correction methods.
