量子コンピューティングはまだ初期段階のテクノロジーですが、一般の人々が考えるよりも早く早期のアプリケーションが出現しつつあります。BCGは企業が戦略やスキル、エコシステムを開発し、報いを得られるよう支援します。
量子コンピューティングの大躍進の瞬間はまだ何年も先のことですが、このテクノロジーは有望な見返りを示しています。創薬、気候変動、金融は、早期の進歩から恩恵を受けられる分野のほんの一部にすぎません。今プランニングを開始する企業は、成功の土台となる先行者の展望を得ることができます。
それは、驚異的な速度で複雑な計算を行うために量子力学を利用した量子コンピューティングが、従来のコンピュータでは不可能または非現実的であった問題を解決できるからです。BCGの量子コンピューティング領域のコンサルタントは、企業が量子の優位性を、どこに、どのように適用できるかを検討することにより、競争優位性を構築するお手伝いをします。
As quantum technology emerges from the lab, companies can turn innovation into impact by identifying—and delivering—practical applications. But quantum computing is not a plug-and-play technology. Companies will need time, and a plan, to build the necessary skills and navigate new resources.
Our quantum computing consultants are well versed in the intricacies of deep tech—novel technologies that tackle substantial scientific challenges, require long-term development, and involve a large and diverse ecosystem. We take a multipronged approach to helping companies realize the benefits of quantum computing.
Quantum Strategy and Vision. Winning with quantum computing means understanding where it fits within a business context. We help companies link the technology to the most relevant opportunities and pain points, identifying early wins while developing a roadmap for creating value as quantum technology matures.
Quantum Resources. Already, companies can experiment with cloud-based quantum-computing power, simulators that run on laptops, and open-source quantum software development kits. We help companies navigate these new resources so that they can start exploring how to apply quantum technology to real-world applications.
Quantum Ecosystem and Partnerships. The quantum journey isn’t one companies make alone. An ecosystem of players—focusing on a variety of technology- and industry-specific topics—is emerging. We help clients create the partnerships and connections that bring the knowledge, capabilities, and collaboration that can accelerate their path to value.
Quantum Talent. Across industries, leading companies are building teams to explore quantum computing. And as the technology matures, the need—and demand—for quantum skills will increase. We help companies develop their internal capabilities, through recruitment strategies, upskilling, and a culture that attracts—and unleashes—quantum talent.
While we expect quantum advantage to be a reality by 2025, we help companies identify the opportunities they can seize in the early going—as well as those that lay further ahead. And it’s not just about the commercial applications of quantum computing. We also uncover uses that can deliver important social impact.
Some of the most promising use cases for quantum computing are:
What if microparticles could help us solve the world's biggest problems in a matter of minutes? Matt Langione, a partner at BCG, shares why industries should prepare now for the new leap in quantum computing.
Companies and deep tech investors that are not already monitoring developments in quantum sensing should secure a place on the learning curve as soon as possible.
Early-stage machines could be generating real business value as soon as 2025.
With existing encryption protocols weakening, quantum technologies are the key to securing future communications. Here are the factors that will drive adoption.
No one can afford to sit on the sidelines as this transformative technology accelerates toward several critical milestones. It’s time to plan when and where to place your bets.
