But just as we\u2019ve seen with the likes of AI and cloud computing, forward-thinking businesses are often the ones to reap the early rewards of such technical innovations.<\/p>\n<p>But quantum computing is different. It\u2019s not just another technical innovation, it\u2019s a completely new way of carrying out computations in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/programming-development\/sumitomo-moves-to-advance-neutral-atom-quantum-computing-with-coldquanta-investment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quantum<\/a> computers work in a fundamentally different way to today\u2019s computers. While traditional machines use \u2018bits\u2019 that are either a 0 or 1, a quantum computer\u2019s quantum bits (qubits) can exist in a superposition and, effectively, be a 0 and 1 at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><html><body><\/p>\n<div id=\"boilerplate_2803147\">\n<h3>Event<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p><span>Intelligent Security Summit On-Demand<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Learn the critical role of AI &#038; ML in cybersecurity and industry specific case studies.

And most of these use cases we cannot begin to imagine yet.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s also why it is important for businesses to start interacting with quantum computing now. Because by getting \u2018quantum ready\u2019, the world can understand the real impact of these machines on society. And you can start to understand and prepare for the potentially significant impact that this disruptive technology will have on your business.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-quantum-readiness\">What is quantum readiness?<\/h2>\n<p>Quantum-ready is effectively understanding the opportunities and threats of <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/datadecisionmakers\/the-world-and-todays-employees-need-quantum-computing-more-than-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quantum computing<\/a> and learning how to use this technology to your advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Being quantum ready does <em>not<\/em> mean you need to understand everything about quantum computers or have your own machine.<\/p>\n<p>Quantum readiness will look different to different organizations, depending on your processes, requirements and industry.<\/p>\n<p>A high-level quantum ready framework may include the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Learn and reach out:<\/strong> Get a high-level view of where quantum is, and where it is going. Start to establish both your internal champions and engage with quantum companies to find thought partners that are right for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Map your computational impact landscape: <\/strong>For many, the journey involves gaining an understanding of your current computational challenges. What does your problem landscape look like? Plot your computational challenges against \u201cimpact on the organization\u201d and \u201ccomputational difficulty\u201d. Are there any high value, yet computationally intractable challenges facing your company? These problems might be suitable for quantum computers. Collaborate with quantum experts to map this to quantum computing capabilities. Consider reaching out to quantum computing companies to learn more about what\u2019s possible, but also to help with this mapping exercise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Build skills: <\/strong>Build an internal capability in quantum that is appropriate for the business\u2019s opportunity in this area. Or rent time on today\u2019s small-scale machines to start solving toy problems and getting to grips with how these machines work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Be patient: <\/strong>Commit to the longevity of the development of quantum computers and reap the rewards as quantum computers become more powerful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once this initial exploration phase is complete, then the truly interesting conversations around quantum computing can start.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of work needs to be done between industry end-users and <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/programming-development\/how-reality-gets-in-the-way-of-quantum-computing-hype\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quantum<\/a> companies to prepare for the world of quantum computers. Crucially, this should be done in tandem with the actual development of these machines.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-get-ready-for-the-future\">Get ready for the future<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s one issue that\u2019s particularly important to understand to futureproof your quantum strategy: scalability. Over the last few years, quantum computing companies have hit the headlines, growing their machines one qubit at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Every step forward is important. But to unlock the commercial potential of quantum computing, we need to make a machine with millions of qubits. Today\u2019s biggest machine has 127 qubits.<\/p>\n<p>So, when you start to reach out to quantum computing companies, there\u2019s one question to always ask: \u201ccan you <em>really <\/em>get me to one million qubits?\u201d Because a long-term, \u201cmillion-qubit\u201d mindset is needed to make sure you protect any investments in this technology.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important for businesses to understand this and work with a company that\u2019s aligned with this ambition. Because when quantum computers are ready, you need to be ready too.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ilan Elson is VP of operations at <a href=\"https:\/\/universalquantum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Universal Quantum<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"boilerplate_2736392\">\n<h3 id=\"h-datadecisionmakers\">DataDecisionMakers<\/h3>\n<p>Welcome to the VentureBeat community!<\/p>\n<p>DataDecisionMakers is where experts, including the technical people doing data work, can share data-related insights and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to read about cutting-edge ideas and up-to-date information, best practices, and the future of data and data tech, join us at DataDecisionMakers.<\/p>\n<p>You might even consider\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/contribute-to-datadecisionmakers\/\">contributing an article<\/a>\u00a0of your own!<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/category\/DataDecisionMakers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read More From DataDecisionMakers<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/html><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/data-infrastructure\/how-businesses-can-get-quantum-ready-for-long-term-success\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Ilan Elson, Universal Quantum<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 8, 2023 8:20 AM Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.
