Few technologies generate as much expectation as quantum computing. It is still maturing and, apart from a few highly specific experiments, it does not yet outperform conventional computers on real-world problems. But the debate is no longer about whether it will become viable, but when and how it will be integrated into business processes.

Most major manufacturers expect the first computers capable of correcting their own errors to arrive towards the end of this decade. Europe and Spain have launched specific strategies for quantum technologies and, according to McKinsey, quantum computing could generate up to $2.7 billions in economic value by 2035. In this context, the immediate challenge is not to own a quantum computer, but to learn how to formulate problems in quantum language, validate use cases, and train teams.

The technology report “From emulation to business applications of quantum technologies: how companies can start working with quantum computing today” explains the fundamentals of quantum computing and its current state, details where and how it can deliver value to businesses, and provides the keys to start working with quantum computing today through practical examples and real-world use cases.
