Digital Capabilities

Quantum computing systems are heavily relying on quantum physical interactions to define qubits as electrical, optical, and magnetic. The hardware and conditions needed to create and control qubits differ in accordance with the quantum activity being controlled, for example, a photon of light or the spin of an electron. Each approach has different trade-offs in terms of investment and benefits. Further, there are parallels to classical computing, which evolved over multiple modes of physical infrastructure from vacuum tubes to magnetic tape to silicon circuits on chips. Furthermore, continuous technological improvements have been witnessed across multiple hardware platforms with the evolution of new technological roadmaps to help forecast paths. For instance, in November 2022, IBM introduced a new 400 Qubit-Plus Quantum Processor and Next-Generation IBM Quantum System. These advancements lead to a new breakthrough in the quantum hardware and software industry, which outlines a pioneering vision for quantum-centric supercomputing.

Moreover, a growing development of hardware platforms is ahead on the development path of superconducting qubits and trapped ions and other platforms and approaches could still be able to catch up at a later stage. In the long term, it is likely that multiple hardware approaches will co-exist and find their niche in a new quantum computation ecosystem, based on their inherent advantages. These capabilities have the ability to control 1 million qubits in a computation, theoretically allowing for the creation of a sufficient number of error-corrected qubits to demonstrate a quantum advantage in a real-life application. Hence, the potential application of next-generation comp[utying is likely to grow with frequent developments in the field of quantum computing industry, which fueling the market growth. In addition, growing high-performing platforms have demonstrated capabilities in the low hundreds. Building systems that follow the four steps of development require universal control and are capable of running quantum circuits. These “quantum circuit-model platforms” all have a universal gate set, which is a set of gates that allow any arbitrary quantum circuit to be run, and combinations of quantum circuits with classical computations drive algorithms to fuel application development. These are critical prerequisites for building a general-purpose quantum computer that can be integrated as part of a computational workflow.

End-User Adoption

Major next-generation computing vendors are investing in technology to ensure that their offerings meet today’s consumer expectations. Although most quantum-enabled solutions are emerging and already taking place in recent days and are more effective than traditional approaches. In addition, it often provides early signs of validation that quantum already demonstrates a distinct advantage over existing approaches, which ultimately enhances today’s business models depending on the business value at stake.

In Germany, Allianz tests quantum computing in options valuation and quantifying operational risk. There are also plenty of growing partnerships between the sector and quantum firms. In addition, in March 2022, HSBC announced a three-year collaboration with IBM to explore quantum computers application that can be used for pricing and portfolio optimization, progressing its net zero goals and identifying and addressing fraudulent activity. Similarly, in 2020, Atos, a global leader in digital transformation announced its Life Sciences Centre of Excellence with access to leading-edge technologies, such as Quantum, High-Performance Computing, and AI, supported by Atos’ products, services, and expertise in these sectors. With an explosion of such innovations and investments, the computing industry is certainly moving towards an exponential growth trajectory.

Government Initiatives

In 2019, the U.S. established a national program - the National Quantum Initiative Act, supporting the development of quantum technologies. This includes the founding of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) to support the development of a quantum supply chain with the goal and mission of supporting the future quantum industry. Further, Canada and its provinces continue to work to evolve their national and provincial-level strategies. On contrary, in the Europe region, several countries are undertaking national and regional initiatives to spearhead the development of quantum computing solutions. For instance, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and France have developed national quantum programs and strategies, with total public support of more than $7 billion. Also, the European Commission has also established a separate $1.1 billion research and innovation initiative known as the EU Quantum Flagship, which is dedicated to developing and commercializing quantum technologies in the European Union. Within the EU, quantum computing is prominent and developed in collaboration with European efforts on high-performance computing. There are also initiatives in addition to existing research centres and clusters of excellence in quantum technologies, e.g. Quantum Delta NL in the Netherlands, a dedicated legal entity that governs all related public investments in technology.

In line with these investments, the European industry has also started to coalesce to accelerate the development of commercial quantum solutions. While Asia has had a long and growing effort across the next-generation computing landscape. Like, in Singapore, the focus on quantum information dates back to the early 2000s, while China initially focused on quantum communications but now includes a large focus on quantum computation. Further, China’s five-year plan was launched in 2016 and put quantum computing as a top priority for national technology sovereignty. During the past ten years, China also invested more than $1 billion in quantum technology, with additional investments of $150 million in a start-up fund. These efforts in China are believed to be quite large, and in turn, drive the application of the next-generation computing market. In early 2022, India also announced a plan to spend more than $1 billion over the next five years to support the development of quantum technologies, including an effort to build a small prototype quantum computer by 2026. Such government initiatives across the globe is expected to reinforce market growth.

Similarly, fintech firms run highly complex risk analyses and create models to help them spot fraud. The oil and gas sector is dependent on HPC to perform special analyses and test reservoir models in order to locate resources.

On the contrary, high-performance computers possess capabilities to solve complex problems at a faster rate compared to conventional and supercomputers. In addition, computers, which are accessible at present have certain limitations as they are limited by their processors, storage capacity, and latency problems, which creates demand for high-performance computing. High-performance computing uses Quantum Processing Units (QPU) to process data in a few seconds and provides infinite storage, owing to which various industries are adopting and developing high-performance computing technology.

Moreover, there is an increase in demand for high-performance computing for optimization, simulation, data modeling & analysis, and machine & deep learning as they contain huge amounts of complex data. NASA is focused on several high-performance computing technology investments to analyze massive data collected about the universe for research to find safe methods for space traveling in the future. For instance, in June 2022, NASA’s High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) project is developing flight computing technology that will provide technical management of the design and delivery of computing chips. This factor is expected to drive the growth of the next-generation computing market globally.
