Portable quantum computers are now within the reach of people who aren’t billionaires or major tech companies. Starting at just under $9,000, these quantum machines are a game-changer in the world of computing.

To say that quantum computing has made major leaps would be a half truth. We’ve gone from theory, to algorithms, to physical quantum computers, but despite all that – the industry is still in its infancy.

I wrote an article on quantum cryptography and quantum encryption for the website Quantropi a while back. Since then, I’ve decided it needed a slight rewrite, so I took a second stab at it.

In 2019, Google made a groundbreaking announcement - the achievement of quantum supremacy. This marked a significant milestone in the world of computing, where quantum machines showcased their ability to solve problems that were once deemed insurmountable for conventional computers.

Now more than ever, technology needs to be at the forefront of every business’ strategy. As a Forbes Technology Council member, I was approached by Forbes to give my take on the one tech trend that would revolutionize the web.

COVID-19's challenges highlighted the incredible potential of quantum computing. Faced with the virus, scientists have leaned into quantum tech to crunch data and simulate complex viral proteins swiftly. This shared mission didn't just advance our understanding of the virus but also propelled quantum computing towards more practical, user-friendly applications.
