What is quantum computing?

Quantum computing applies the principles of quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information and solve highly complex problems far beyond classical systems. Using qubits instead of bits, quantum systems can evaluate multiple outcomes simultaneously, unlocking new possibilities in areas like simulation, optimization and predictive modeling.

Why quantum computing matters

While commercial adoption is still emerging, the business and security implications are already significant. Quantum technologies are transforming R&D, accelerating innovation, reshaping cybersecurity, and expanding the boundaries of computation. Organizations that act now—by assessing opportunities, piloting solutions and addressing quantum risks—will lead in the coming quantum economy.

Quantum readiness starts now: Don’t let your AI and data strategy hold you back

Quantum computing is no longer a purely academic or research-focused concept. The strategic implications for optimization, simulation, forecasting, cybersecurity, and more are already clear. We’re beginning to see large-scale commercial opportunities on the horizon. Forward-looking organizations are starting to prepare by bolstering the foundations that quantum computing will ultimately depend upon.
