Future of Quantum Computing
The global quantum computing industry is projected to grow exponentially from $412 million in 2020 to $8.6 billion in 2027. Quantum computers are expected to be available in the market by 2030, but more time will be required for hardware and software refinements before businesses can use them for their applications. Advances in quantum computing are increasing the potential of quantum AI, and will transform numerous industries, ranging from healthcare and energy to finance and security.
