Quantum mechanics is in fact foundational in engineering fields such as semiconductors,material science, and nanotechnology [1]. Quantum computing also receives quite a bit ofattention, as it is seen as a definite part of the future of computer science [2]-[5]. On quantumcomputing in particular, MIT writes that quantum computing is no longer an interest
