There seems to be more talk about quantum computing than there is knowledge. But, with the quantum computing market expected to reach $3.7 billion by 2030 — growing at a compound annual growth rate of 25% —it’s time for that to change. That’s why Mission Critical sat down with QCI’s CEO, Robert Liscouski, to find out a little more about the technology, how to use it, and what to expect from it.
Liscouski: Quantum computing approaches accelerate the process of solving complex problems as they can handle large amounts of data while improving the quality of results. This is done by leveraging the principles of quantum physics. Quantum computing processes using multidimensional states don’t use binary bits [1's and 0's] like classical computers do. They use qubits, which reflect the way nature works, adapting their processing based on the overall situation. Qubits leverage capabilities like superposition (the ability to be in two different states at the same time) and entanglement (sharing states with other qubits to reflect changes across multiple situational variables).
