Quantum computing in the fourth industrial revolution

As we gradually transition from this current age of computing into a fourth industrial revolution, this will be a time of even greater transformation. It will be defined by disruptive technologies and macro trends that will have materially greater impact, scope and velocity than anything that has come before. This period will be the context for the emergence of quantum computing. All ready anticipated to be a groundbreaking period due to factors such as artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, urban innovation, fifth generation or 5G telecommunications, demographic and economic shifts, medical advances and our response to climate change, quantum computing will drive change in unexpected and important ways. Sure, it will enable faster processing of the most complex computing tasks, but it will be its relationship and convergence with other technologies and behavioral shifts that will result in the biggest and most important changes. Take for example artificial intelligence or…
