Quantum Computing

The study initially looks at the concept behind quantum computers and how they work compared to classical computers using the binary system. A brief timeline puts quantum computing in perspective to the overall development and history of modern computers. The following part of the report compares market size projections and forecasts for QC, taking into account challenges on the way towards fully developed quantum computers. Use cases, applications, and the addressable market are also examined in this chapter of the study.

In a second step, the leading companies in QC in terms of funding and patent applications (established tech giants as well as smaller companies and startups) are identified. The report also provides a close look at the efforts and policies of individual countries in relation to quantum computing.​
