Quantum Computing
Quantum computers are incredibly powerful machines that take a new approach to processing information using the principles of quantum mechanics.
Quantum Today
Quantum computing has been pursued for decades in research labs and is still in early stages of development. However, prototype machines are today getting bigger and more capable, and significant advances are being made in quantum software development. Industries are just starting to explore the possibilities, and universities are beginning to develop quantum computing curriculums. Quantum computing has the potential to solve large-scale societal challenges in areas such as complex optimization, molecular modeling, machine learning, physics, materials science, chemical simulations and data discovery, and impact future breakthroughs in:
- Helping researchers create new medicines or materials
- Delivering (shipping, transporting) a product across the globe with the least amount of fuel
- Managing risk in constantly fluctuating financial markets
- Training artificial intelligence
