      Hey Janki,

      There are lots of scientists working on this so I think that it will. But maybe not in the form like ‘star trek’ or ‘The Fly’.

      The first thing I think that will be built is a quantum computer that will use atoms and particles to process information rather than transistors. This computer will be super powerful and allow us to crack codes and solve complex equations way faster than we can now.

      This means delving into the world of quantum mechanics which is mind-boggling (check out this short video that does a good job of making sense of it:

      Thanks for the question.
