When we talk about Deep Tech that altered the way we use technology, surely, Quantum Computing comes to mind. It has a unique processing system that surpasses traditional computers, and, with its special feature, it requires a different set of knowledge-based innovation. Today, startups who drive this technology are ready to let us in on the new experience. So, Digital Ventures wishes to familiarize you with startups from around the world who have developed services and products from Quantum Computing.
Why startups are significant to Quantum Computing?
We often share stories of Quantum Computing development from tech giants like IBM or Google which helped us see how this technology is becoming applicable. However, if we look at the timeline, Quantum Computing is considered to be moving slower than it should be. As of today, Quantum Computers are almost 20 years old, yet, their application in a wider scope is not as prevalent and this contradicts with its capability. This is because, in the past, only large corporates can build and access this technology.
Nowadays, technologies are more accessible. This includes Quantum Computing that can now be accessed through cloud computing. Therefore, startups are able to get hold of more knowledge and resources to help them produce new products and solutions with Quantum Computing. This is why we are beginning to see applications of Quantum Computing in various industries. Also, startups often possess different and fresh ideas that drive the ecosystem, especially to develop technologies that can be commercialized in a well-defined market.
