How to capitalize on quantum computing (and avoid the quantum apocalypse) in your manufacturing business

It’s a phrase we’ve all heard by now, but the concept of quantum computing is still unclear for many of us. Likewise, there is a lack of knowledge about how this computing trend can benefit manufacturers maturing into the IIoT era.

Here we chat with Jason Soroko, CTO of IoT at Sectigo, to learn more about quantum computing, explore some applications in the industrial space, and calm fears about the creepily termed ‘quantum apocalypse.” Take a look…

Smart Industry: Define quantum computing.

Jason: Quantum computing is, first and foremost, about speed. Back in 2015, Google claimed to have a quantum computer that was 100 million times faster than your current laptop. A search for recent quantum-computer news reports shows a back-and-forth declaration of ‘quantum supremacy;’ that is, who has the fastest quantum computer. But what we are really talking about here is the march of progress toward more and more ‘stable’ quantum computing.

Quantum computing is a special topic area in quantum-information science. Unusual and counter-intuitive properties of quantum mechanics include entanglement and superposition, which can be utilized to perform special computational tasks.
