Quantum computing, derived from the principles of quantum mechanics, has captivated not only scientists but also popular culture and sci-fi writers. Concepts like time travel, parallel universes, and artificial intelligence often intertwine with the idea of quantum mechanics. This intersection has been prominently featured in various media, including Johnny Depp’s film “Transcendence” (2014), the Netflix series “Black Mirror” (Episode: Joan Is Awful, 2023), and “Devs” (2020). Even the blockbuster film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (2022) has touched upon this concept. Quantum computing’s integration into popular culture reflects its profound impact on the collective imagination, blending science fiction with the very real possibilities of future technology.
