According to research conducted by EY together with the University of Oxford, global spending on the development of quantum technologies reaches $40 billion per year. Therefore, in today's podcast we ask the question, how far are we from the quantum revolution?
Quantum technologies are one of the most exciting directions of contemporary science and technology, which promises to revolutionize, among others, computing and communication. In recent years, technology giants such as Google, IBM, Microsoft and Intel have made huge progress in building quantum computers. However, work on quantum technologies is still taking place behind closed doors of laboratories.
Although the pace of progress suggests that in the coming years we can expect the first commercial applications that will revolutionize sectors such as pharmaceuticals, logistics or even artificial intelligence. And it is quantum technologies that will be inflected by all cases in the second episode of MamBiznes: Startup Talks.
Dr. Anna Kamińska, Quantum Systems Director at Creotech Instruments, in an interview with MamBiznes answers the questions: How far are we from practical applications of quantum technologies? Who in Poland is working on these technologies and how can they affect our economy? We encourage you to watch.
The race for quantum technologies
According to an EY report prepared jointly with the University of Oxford, China dominates spending on the development of quantum technologies. It allocates $15 billion annually. In the European Union, Germany has the largest budget, and the United States closes the global podium, just behind Great Britain.
We also recently wrote on MamBiznes that there will soon be a significant acceleration in the development of new technology, according to the director of the hardware department at Google Quantum AI. In his opinion, there will be a breakthrough within five years, the effect of which will be their practical application of quanta. The first of them will probably be related to the simulation of the most modern issues in the field of physics, impossible to carry out using classical computers.
And while quantum technologies may seem like black magic to some, we explore this topic with the guest of the second episode of the MamBiznes: Startup Talks podcast. Dr. Anna Kamińska explains in which areas quantum computing will have the greatest advantage over traditional computers.
We also answer the question of how Poland is doing in this global innovation race, focusing on the construction of the first quantum computer in Poznań.
