Leading companies prepare to quantum leap into the future of computing!

Companies are always looking for new ways to stay ahead of the competition. Quantum computing is one area that leading companies are exploring. They believe quantum computers could be much faster and more powerful than traditional computers. By researching the future of quantum computing, these companies hope to gain a competitive edge.


What is Quantum Computing?


Quantum computing is a type of computer based on quantum principles, where bits are represented by qubits instead of binary digits (0's and 1's). With this new type of computer, the calculations made are extremely sensitive and can be performed in an incredibly short space of time.

The quantum computer is able to understand quantum-mechanical phenomena in a much better way than the more traditional computers. The reason for this is that the laws of quantum physics allow for alternative ways to approach these calculations instead of just using linear thinking. This gives it the ability to find solutions to problems much faster than a classical computer.


Why should businesses be researching quantum computers?


Businesses are not yet putting quantum computers to full use. If they did, they would be able to solve problems and answer queries almost instantaneously. This would completely revolutionize the way we do business, as the processes that take a long time in our current computing systems could potentially be done in microseconds in these new systems.

Quantum computing is also an important advancement for artificial intelligence. It would be able to help with the identification of patterns in data, something that is currently very hard for computers to do. These advances would make it possible for businesses to process information quicker, and would make operating their business through the internet easier.

At the international quantum computer conference "Q2B Tokyo" held from July 13th to 14th, major domestic and overseas companies announced their efforts for industrial application of quantum computers. The aims of this conference were to promote industrial application of quantum computers and bring together scientists from various fields including academia and industry, interested in the development and future of quantum information.


To realize this aim, a number of companies delivered their presentations on how they are taking advantage of the research outcomes from their laboratories. The companies that attended included IBM, NEC Corporation, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), NTT, BQT Corp. and Toyota Tsusho Corp.

These companies gave their presentations and put a great deal of emphasis on the implications that quantum computing will have on businesses and how it will go beyond the research stage. Industrial application of quantum computers is expected to begin through collaborative research between academia and industry, even before the development of any product. This is because it is expected to take a while before products are made available to the public market.

On the other hand, commercially available products from research institutes do not have vast applications yet. Because of this, there is a demand for these companies to further promote the application of their products to industries.


By attending this conference and demonstrating the practical applications of their own research, these companies convincingly demonstrated the value of quantum computing to businesses.



In order to utilize quantum information in a practical way in actual business environments, it is necessary to create systems that can use both classical and quantum computing in parallel.  Businesses need to develop systems that can tap into the superior speed of quantum computers and still be able to utilize classical computers for other purposes.  The efforts made by these companies could potentially help businesses to create these systems and allow them to utilize quantum computing.

Quantum computers open up possibilities that go beyond the scope of traditional computing. It can help resolve some of the most challenging questions that we face today in a fraction of time that it takes with conventional computers. The merger of academia and business is a promising sign for the future. These partnerships will one day introduce quantum computers into our everyday lives!
