The Quiet Quantum Revolution

Is quantum the next evolution of AI (artificial intelligence)? Not exactly. Here’s the hard reality. AI will at some point hit its ceiling in terms of what it can do with energy, optimization, etc. This is where quantum will enter the equation. Quantum is a complementary layer to artificial intelligence, not a replacement. It will help with optimization, ultimately exceeding the speed and capability of classical computers.

At its core, quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to solve computer problems. Simply, it enables computers to do their work faster. Quantum qubits will be what is going to be key. Qubits are the fundamental unit of quantum information. Think of the classical bits like a 0 or 1, except there is one big difference. Qubits can also act as a supposition of both states simultaneously. This means qubits can hold significantly more information and power.

Ultimately, this means quantum computers could ...
