  In this paper, we examine the state art of quantum computing and analyze its
potential effects in scientific computing and cybersecurity. Additionally, a
non-technical description of the mechanics of the listed form of computing is
provided to educate the reader for better understanding of the arguments
provided. The purpose of this study is not only to increase awareness in this
nescient technology, but also serve as a general reference guide for any
individual wishing to study other applications of quantum computing in areas
that include finance, chemistry, and data science. Lastly, an educated argument
is provided in the discussion section that addresses the implications this form
of computing will have in the main areas examined.
