IntroductionQuantum computing has become a major buzzword of the current decade, and there is broad consensus that it will be one of the most critical future technologies. However, many scientists considered it unachievable until in recent years preliminary demonstrations proved otherwise. In the last decade quantum computing has finally escaped the realm of pure academic interest, with major industry players entering the quantum computing race and major developments rapidly taking place. The race for quantum supremacy has already been won in the context of NISQ (noisy intermediate scale quantum) devices, with the next major milestone being scalable, universal quantum computing, one that is likely to be achieved in the coming decade. This milestone will have far-reaching implications in technology, business, materials research, medicine, and everyday life via cloud-based applications.The internet has arguably been the most transformative technology of the last two decades. With the advent of quantum technology,
