Strategic Intelligence: Quantum Computing Executive Briefing

Businesses must prepare for quantum disruption now. A cryptographically-relevant quantum computer (CRQC) is a future quantum computer powerful enough to break widely used public-key cryptographic systems, such as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), by running quantum algorithms like Shor's algorithm. Q-Day is the day in the not-too-distant future-perhaps by 2029-when CRQCs will break the internet. Organizations must take steps now to address the threat.

Key Highlights

• Six quantum computing architectures (superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, photonic, spin, and topological) are receiving significant funding. In terms of talent and funding, superconducting quantum computing companies like IBM, Google, D-Wave, and Rigetti are at the forefront. However, recent private equity funding has provided significant cash injections to companies developing trapped-ion, photonic, and neutral-atom quantum computers (QCs). The market will be large enough to support all six quantum architectures.
• The finance, materials, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare sectors will be early quantum adopters. Leading manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and financial operations are working with quantum computing companies, testing algorithms on small-scale quantum computers to acquire in-house quantum core competencies. These enterprises plan to be ready when quantum is fully scaled out in the next few years.
