Quantum computing – strategy, potential and industrial fields of application
What is quantum computing - and why is it relevant for companies?
Quantum computers use quantum mechanical effects such as superposition and entanglement to potentially solve highly complex computing tasks more efficiently than classical computers. This opens new possibilities in areas such as:
- Chemical and physical simulations
- Logistics and optimization
- Material development
- pharmaceutical industry
- Financial mathematics
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
What advantages does quantum computing offer for industry?
With our support, you can use quantum computing to improve industrial processes - especially in production, development and research. The key benefits include:
- Precise material simulations at quantum level
- Efficient solutions to optimization problems (e.g. supply chains, production planning)
- Quantum machine learning for complex data patterns
