Insight Story: Tech Trends Unpacked

In 2019, Google’s quantum computer made a calculation in four minutes that would’ve taken the fastest supercomputer 10,000 years. That’s 158 million times faster. What does quantum computing mean for business? What should you do about it now? We find out from two experts working at the heart of this new technology and its applications:

• Oliver Thomson Brown (UK,) Chancellor’s Fellow at EPCC (formerly Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre,) University of Edinburgh
• Henning Soller (Germany,) Partner and Director of Quantum Research, McKinsey & Company

Although quantum computing is still at the demonstration stage, some businesses are already exploring how it could help them get ahead. Its processing speed could reshape sectors from medical research to aviation to finance.
