  • NISQ Era devices are on the horizon[NISQ 1][1].
  • Quantum computing is finally on the verge of becoming commercially useful.
  • Quantum Computing is developing at a steady pace.
  • It presents revolutionary opportunities for AI, chemistry, materials science, finance, and more.
  • The USA, China, EU, and other nation states are investing heavily into quantum computing.
  • Tech giants such as Google, IBM, Intel, Rigetti, and Microsoft are already competing for market share.
  • Not all research is public.

As a byproduct of this global technological arms race, quantum computers powerful enough to break modern cryptography are expected to exist within 10-20 years, if not sooner.
