Investment in quantum computing to be major economic driving force in 2 years

ABU DHABI / WAM

Thought leaders and entrepreneurs from around the world discussed the opportunities presented by AI and quantum computing to optimise efficiency and growth in all walks of life, during Investopia 2023 conference.
The session, titled “Quantum Leap: Transforming Industry Through Quantum Computing & AI”, was led by Jan Goetz, CEO and co-Founder of IQM Quantum Computers, Joanna Shields, CEO of BenevolentAI and Herman Narula, CEO & Co-Founder of Improbable. The speakers presented their thoughts on integrating technology into every aspect of work to create opportunities and resolve shared problems.
They explored different elements of AI, quantum computing, and the metaverse, and their game changing potential to ensure purposeful jobs and contributions to society on a whole.
In the context of the new economic formations resulting from the tremendous technical developments, experts affirmed that, investment in quantum computing will be the new economy during the next two years.
Jan Goetz emphasised on the power of quantum technology in the application of AI. He explained that quantum allows you to solve problems exponentially faster. “If you want to simulate a molecule, and you use a normal computer, it takes millions of years, but with quantum, it will solve this problem in days or minutes. We find this problem in all industries. In the class of optimisation and supply chain problems, quantum is a disruptive tech that can solve some of these issues.”
