In the coming years, quantum devices with tens-to-hundreds of noisy qubits are expected to become a reality. This marks the beginning of the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing era. That will be critical if we are going to be able to process the monumental amount of data we generate and solve very complex problems. Today, Google has a quantum computer they claim is 100 million times faster than any of today's systems. Quantum computing and quantum information processing is expected to have immense impact by performing tasks too hard for even the most powerful conventional supercomputer and have a host of specific applications, from code-breaking and cyber security to medical diagnostics, big data analysis and logistics. The idea is to create a pattern of interference where the paths leading to wrong answers interfere destructively and cancel out but the paths leading to the right answer reinforce each other. Entangled particles remain perfectly correlated even if..
