A Quantum Future is closer than you think…

A Quantum Future is inevitable, but when should investors, CEO, governments and the people take notice. The answer, for those already in the know confirm they have made early moves because they see and understand the vast disruptive potential of this technology, as much remains in stealth mode.

But now this industry is ready to explode and will dwarf everything else.

With a 2019 current market value of $50billion, the estimates are that in just over a decade by 2030 the market potential of Quantum Computing will reach $500bn market for Quantum hardware, software and services. But it is the destruction potential of Quantum from vulnerabilities some believe will erode trillions of value, eliminated large enterprises and place governments at odds with each other and their people. A scary thought for some, an opportunity for others, and why the entire computer hardware and software industry dominated by Big Tech players is trying to dominate again.

As classical silicon based computing runs literally out of runway, as wafer micron-scale meets particle physics, and enters the realm of Quantum Mechanics, already dogged by heat and external disturbances, we can confirm the age of classical computing is almost over.
