Your press review from Quantaneo

Are you in Montreal on April 30th? Don't miss the first conference in Canada by Philippe Nieuwbourg, founder of Quantaneo. It will present the main opportunities in quantum computing applications, in the fields of transportation, finance and healthcare. A conference-debate that will also be an opportunity for Quebec's early adopters to network.
 
Prospective market studies on quantum computing follow one another. While they necessarily give a positive vision of the growth of this market, they are based on expectations disconnected from technological progress, that are not yet under control for the coming years. They are an indicator, funded by those who are the subject of them, and must be taken with great care. Kenneth Research's study, entitled "Global Quantum Computing Market & Technologies 2018-2024", announces a 24.6% CAGR in the quantum computing market over the period 2017-2024.
The “Global Quantum Computing Market” study, published by The Insight Partner, goes further and attempts to forecast market developments until 2027. Main detailed suppliers are Cambridge Quantum Computing Ltd, D-Wave Systems Inc., Google Inc., IBM Corporation, Intel Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Microsoft, Qxbranch, Inc., Rigetti & Co, Inc., Toshiba Quantum Information group.
 
Forecasting weather in a more local and precise way, based on millions of variables; or forecasting the evolution of financial markets, these are some possible applications of quantum computing in the future. In the shorter term, researchers are predicting the trajectory of photons, simple particles of light; and measuring their condition in order to compare it with predictions. Research published in the journal Nature.
