Key events in the field of quantum computation are, occurance of various crises in physics such as “ultraviolet catastrophe” in twentieth century with modern theory of quantum quantum mechanics starting in 1920s. Various other crucial algorithms are no-cloning theorem, Turing Machine, Moore’s Law, etc.
Various challenges to classical world were presented by Shor’s algorithm that can break RSA systems on quantum computer, and Grover’s algorithms etc.
The information theory started after computer science with Claude Shannon’s Information theory in 1948.
Other crucial aspects are distributed quantum computation, cryptogrpahy etc. One crucial aspect with quantum computation is Quantum Entanglement.
