Is quantum computing about to radically change the world?

from Take on Tomorrow Hosted by PwC

Quantum computing could revolutionize how we live, and it's fast approaching reality—but is the world ready? Quantum computers use the laws of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems in seconds—making them far more powerful than the most advanced supercomputer. The possibilities seem limitless: it could help treat previously incurable diseases, help us make better informed decisions, and completely reinvent our ways of living. The impact will be huge. So, how should business leaders navigate this unchartered territory? How can they invest in the right technology? How will workers learn to use it, and what are the benefits–and risks–to society? In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Caltech mathematical physicist Spiros Michalakis about the forthcoming quantum revolution and what it could mean for businesses and society, and PwC’s Global Chief AI Engineer Scott Likens weighs in on the business opportunities this new technology could bring.
