We have been studying quantum technologies since 2013, arguing that massive disruption and a global race for quantum supremacy is accelerating. Since then, we have published 22 articles, covering different aspects of the technology, including computing and unhackable communications networks. Quantum computers operate in a fundamentally different way than classical computers, considering the dual behavior of matter.
Quantum computing is millions of times faster than even the most powerful supercomputers today. Quantum computing is on-track to have a major impact on areas such as healthcare, the logistics and transport industries, military systems, aerospace design, financial modeling, chemical polymer design, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software-fault detection, big data, and digital manufacturing. Consultant BCG estimates that initial productivity gains by end users in the form of both cost savings and revenue opportunities are expected to surpass $450 billion annually.
Since 2017, our eight quantum science related recommendations have gained 66.7%, on average (excluding re-recommendations), versus a comparable 50.7% for the S&P 500 Index and 40.2% for the MSCI World Index.*
