Quantum computing today – commercially viable, or held up by technical obstacles? | Estimates of the commercial availability of quantum computing range from “right now” to “ten years.” No matter when, one thing is certain: encryption is in peril. A quantum computer has enormous power to break anything digital. Source: diginomica. Quantum computing today – commercially viable, or held up by technical obstacles?
Quantum Computing at an Inflection Point: Are we Ready for a New Paradigm | Quantum computers leverage quantum mechanics to enable complex processing power enabling computation within a finite timeframe. As the industry reaches a peak of uncertainties in classical computing, researchers see an opportunity in quantum computing to resolve these uncertainties by unraveling the quantum mechanism that quantum physicists built for over a century. Organizations and academics have been working in tandem to conceptualize the quantum world through quantum computers. This article evaluates the tipping points of the quantum computers in the organization, the barrier of adoption, and a mitigation strategy. The article involves an extensive literature review of the current state and future application expectations from quantum computers. As part of this article, the authors interviewed senior industry technology experts to explore quantum computers’ introduction in the industry, and discussed the barriers to adopting quantum computing.
