- The potentials and commercial applications in the NISQ era for Quantum computing, Quantum communication, and Quantum sensing.
- Quantum computing applications for optimization, machine learning, and chemistry. Quantum communication applications with classical (e.g., PQC) or Quantum approach (e.g., QKD). Quantum sensing applications for medical devices, aerospace, and defense industries.
”Finding appropriate algorithms and problems is really challenging for Quantum Computers now,“ said Rupak Biswas, Ph.D., Director of NASA Exploration Technology, who mentioned this during one of the keynote speeches.
On Monday, at 10:00 AM (EST time zone) on April 12, 2021, Quantum.Tech (Alpha Events, 2021) started an internationally accessible virtual event discussing the exciting potential commercial applications of Quantum computing, Quantum communication, and Quantum sensing. The no-chargeable event is sponsored by big players in the industry such as IBM, AWS, Honeywell, and D-Wave, inclu
IBM laid out a software roadmap for quantum computing that will include the release the Qiskit runtime this year, updated software interfaces and circuit libraries and control systems into 2023.
By 2025, IBM is projecting that there will be frictionless quantum computing to enable a broad array of applications that will surpass classical computing. A lot is riding on open source software called Qiskit. That runtime will serve as the base for further quantum software development. IBM outlined its quantum computing hardware roadmap in September.
Bob Sutor, vice president of IBM Quantum Ecosystem Development at IBM, said outlining a software roadmap is critical to developers as well as enterprises looking to invest in quantum computing. Roadmaps give people more confidence on what to expect and when, said Sutor. We do hope this gives a lot more certainty.

Why Quantum Computing s Future Lies in the Cloud
When real-world quantum applications begin appearing, cost, complexity, and other issues will likely float them into the cloud.

As cloud providers search for new markets, many are turning their attention to quantum computing, a science that s long been touted as the ultimate disruptive technology, but which is currently limited to a handful of select niches, such as academic research, cryptography, and blockchain.
While quantum computing adopters are currently few and far between, many observers believe that it s only a matter of time before the technology gains the momentum necessary to become commercially viable. That s why cloud providers are now beginning to position themselves to tap into what could eventually turn out to be a very lucrative market.
