Does Quantum Computing Deliver Value Now?
insideHPC, Saturday, March 8th, 2025
Quantum computing is a topic of significant interest and investment, and while its full potential is yet to be realized, the question arises: Does quantum computing currently deliver value?
This article attempts to answer this question by exploring the multifaceted value of quantum computing.
As of now, quantum computers have not yet achieved the ability to solve useful problems that are intractable for classical computers. There have, however, been demonstrations of so-called 'quantum supremacy,' where quantum computers have solved problems that exceed the capabilities of classical computers, such as Google's 2019 demonstration.
