Quantum computing will mark the beginning of a new era in human scientific endeavors

Quantum computing harnesses the incredible laws of quantum mechanics to process information. Perhaps the commercialization of quantum computing can be dramatic and have far-reaching consequences as that of the invention of the wheel, agriculture and that of the internet. In traditional computing, bits are used to store or encode information as either a zero or one. On the other hand, in quantum computing, quantum bits or qubits are used to store information. In the quantum computing concept, there is no distinction between 0 and 1 and the information can be both 0 and 1 at the same time, mimicking the properties of sub atomic particles such as electrons. This happens due to the phenomena of superposition and entanglement. Due to the phenomenon of superposition observed in the sub atomic particles, they are able to occur in multiple states at the same time, so information stored in qubits can be both 0 and 1 at the same time. As far as entanglement is concerned, it is the phenomenon observed in sub atomic particles where they exhibit a strong correlation and can be linked in perfect harmony. Due to these phenomena of superposition and entanglement, a quantum computer is able to perform incredible number of calculations simultaneously. Owing to this property, quantum computing is much faster than classical computing.

Quantum computing has got a vast array of applications, most of which we cannot even comprehend today. Quantum computing is known to have applications in cryptography, in simulating complex systems, in the development of new materials and drugs, and many more. The development of quantum computing will also have far-reaching consequences in machine learning as well as in the development of artificial intelligence. Quantum computing will even have applications in cyber security, making the internet much more secure and in the defense sector as well.  

Governments of various countries are investing significantly to accelerate quantum computing research operations

Quantum computing technology has potential to change dynamics in military affairs, commerce, and strategic balance of power. Governments of various countries are taking initiatives to expand exploratory research on quantum computing technologies for development and establishment of quantum computing solutions. Rising governmental investments to develop quantum computing solutions for commercial applications is expected to support growth of the global quantum computing market. In August 2016, The U.S. Department of Energy announced its plans to invest US$ 16 Mn, with the objective to aid in designing new materials for supercomputers. In September 2016, the Government of Canada announced its plans to invest US$ 76 Mn in The University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing — a Canada based research institute — for the development of quantum technology solutions. In September 2014, Networked Quantum Information Technologies — a quantum computing research hub — was formed under the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (UKNQTP) by the U.K. Government.

Increasing investments for the commercialization of quantum computing

Theoretically, quantum computing aids in processing and transmission power, and will be capable of solving complex problems faster than modern classical binary supercomputers. Major technology giants across the world are investing more resources and increasing their research and development investments, with the objective to tap commercial opportunities of quantum computing in government and private sectors. Also, investment firms are focusing on making large-scale capital investments in companies developing potential commercial applications of quantum computing and companies extensively focused on research in the area of quantum computing.

Lack of researchers/developers with quantum technology skills

Lack of business understanding of quantum computers, shortage of developers with the desired skillsets, and lack of quantum science departments at the institutional level for exploring practical applications of quantum computers are some of the factors expected to act as restraints in the growth of the global quantum computing market.
