Big trends and moves in Quantum Computing during 2022
What can we expect from one of my favourite Deep Tech subjects — Quantum Computing, Sensing and Communications and Quantum everything…
As 2021 closed we saw significant momentum from the bigger brands that are betting the house on quantum to save their business models — IBM, Honeywell…and some moves by AWS and other tech giants that recognise they need to have a story, a position and offering.
Then we saw the SPAC craze finally enter quantum realms with the IONQ arrival on the New York Stock Exchange — a full stack quantum company…who will. Soon have their hands on $600m to deliver on their promise. And we expect a string of others in 2022 including Rigetti, and no doubt PSIQ, Xanadu and others will follow…
The second half of 2021 saw several key mergers and partnerships…non more interesting that Cambridge Quantum Computing and Honeywell’s Quantum business unit. Now formally merged and in 2022 will trade as Quantinuum.
It is also likely the big VC firms will try to dominate and corner the market in Quantum as valuations are likely to rise quickly having witnessed what is going on in enterprise AI and specifically BioTech Ai. They like to buy and pump that also keeps everything for themselves.
