Is Quantum Computing Worth the Wait?

Does quantum computing technology make economic sense?

Certainly, quantum tech is advanced computing’s newest frontier. But less certain is whether quantum computers can solve a specific business challenge economically—and if not now, when.

Answering these questions is important. Before organizations invest in quantum systems, they want to establish a business case for doing so. That includes predicting when quantum initiatives will deliver a return on investment (ROI).

However, comparing quantum performance against that of traditional “classical” computer systems has proven challenging. In large part, that’s because their underlying technologies differ so dramatically.
