“Can Quantum Computing Solve
All Our Problems One Day?”
“If you’re human,
you’re biased.”
"Problems cannot be
solved by the same
level of thinking that
created them."
Digital Transformation #DX
Intelligent Enterprise
Quantum Enterprise
Self-Driving Enterprise
When we talk about quantum
computers, ultimately we mean
fault-tolerant devices.
To solve a factoring problem that is not
feasible for a classical computer, will
require millions of qubits.
This overhead is required for error
correction, since most algorithms are
extremely sensitive to noise.
Not Yet at Quantum Advantage
'Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum’ – John Preskill
The strange era where quantum is possible but not
ready to provide fault-tolerant implementations of
initial algorithms (50-100 qubits).
Noisy = Limited capacity, not enough qubits to
spare for error correction.
Intermediate-Scale = The finite qubit number limits
experiments to “pre-change the world” levels.

Finance: portfolio optimization,
asset pricing, risk analysis, fraud
detection, market predictions.
Insurance: Valuation of financial
instruments (bonds, derivatives);
valuation of options and
guarantees on insurance
products; quantifying operational
risk.

Energy Sector: Optimizing
current network structure and
predicting usage.
Transportation: Traffic
optimization.
Logistics: Supply-chain
optimization.
Automotive and Aerospace:
Autonomous driving or flying,
managing a large fleet of
vehicles.Chemicals and Pharma: Drug
discovery, simulating molecules.
Materials: Simulate better
batteries, chips or network
architectures or optimize existing
structures.
Blockchain and Cybersecurity:
Maintaining blockchain’s secure
transactions and contracts
requires quantum-proof
cryptographic methods.
Early Quantum Applications
The Roles Across
Layers of the Stack in
the Quantum Ecosystem
1. Form a Quantum CoE.
2. Analyze opportunities.
3. Gain experience.
4. Lead efforts or form partnership for hybrid
and early experimentation.
5. Launch early offerings
(first-mover advantage).
Start Now
