Quantum Computing Is Coming: Are You Cyber Ready?

We’ve been hearing about the vast potential of quantum computing for years. With its exponentially superior processing power, this game-changing technology is expected to dramatically transform fields such as medical sciences, machine learning, particle physics, engineering and meteorology. Although widespread adoption is still in the future, 2019 marks a turning point in its commercial availability. In January, IBM introduced the world’s first circuit-based commercial quantum computer, the IBM Q System One. This milestone in bringing quantum technology out of the lab and into real-world production environments is motivating IT to come to terms with its opportunities and risks.
