“Can Quantum Computing Solve All
Our Problems One Day?”

“If you’re human,
you’re biased.”

"Problems cannot be solved by
the same level of thinking that created them."

When we talk about quantum
computers, ultimately we mean fault-tolerant devices.

To solve a factoring problem
that is not feasible for a classical computer, will require millions of qubits. This overhead is required for error correction, since most algorithms are extremely sensitive to noise. Not Yet at Quantum Advantage

'Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum’ – John
Preskill The strange era where quantum is possible but not ready to provide fault-tolerant implementations of initial algorithms (50-100 qubits). Noisy = Limited capacity, not enough qubits to spare for error correction. Intermediate-Scale = The finite qubit number limits experiments to “pre-change the world” levels.

Finance: portfolio optimization, asset pricing,
risk analysis, fraud detection, market predictions. Insurance: Valuation of financial instruments (bonds, derivatives); valuation of options and guarantees on insurance products; quantifying operational risk. Insurance: Valuation of financial instruments (bonds, derivatives); valuation of options and guarantees on insurance products; quantifying operational risk. Energy Sector: Optimizing current network structure and predicting usage. Transportation: Traffic optimization. Logistics: Supply-chain optimization. Automotive and Aerospace: Autonomous driving or flying, managing a large fleet of vehicles.Chemicals and Pharma: Drug discovery, simulating molecules. Materials: Simulate better batteries, chips or network architectures or optimize existing structures. Blockchain and Cybersecurity: Maintaining blockchain’s secure transactions and contracts requires quantum-proof cryptographic methods. Early Quantum Applications

The Roles Across Layers of
the Stack in the Quantum Ecosystem

1. Form a Quantum CoE.
2. Analyze opportunities. 3. Gain experience. 4. Lead efforts or form partnership for hybrid and early experimentation. 5. Launch early offerings (first-mover advantage). Start Now - BCG

Is there room for creative
imagination in quantum computing?
