  • NISQ Era devices are on the horizon[NISQ 1].
  • Quantum computing is finally on the verge of becoming commercially useful[COMM 1].
  • 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.

  1. Quantum Computing in the NISQ era and beyond, John Preskill, July 2018, Institute for Quantum Information and Matter and Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena.
  1. Commercialization
    • In January 2019, IBM presented it’s first commercial quantum computer. It’s not an exiting step if we’re looking at the technical aspects of this particular quantum computer.
    • In December 2018, a month earlier IonQ broke the record for number of Qubits: they announced a 79 qubits quantum computer.
