- How is quantum computing used today and what might be its use in the future? Today, it continues to be categorized in the prototype and experimental realm, although it is already contributing to decisions in a variety of important industries. We'll look at where it might play a role in the future too, but we must recognize that this is largely a blind spot. It's likely that the real, broad uses of quantum computing will surprise us by being used in ways that are completely unintuitive from today's perspective. This has often been the nature of new technologies. For example, did the inventors of the internet or smartphones anticipate the remarkable ways in which they are used today? Let's look at what we do know. First, we must acknowledge that, in its current form, quantum computers are not widely adopted by industry. You won't find one on a desk and it has no role yet in mainstream productivity software like enterprise resource planning, ERP, and customer relationship management…
