A Practical Framework for Assessing Quantum Computing's Impact on Your Industry

Introduction In the hype around quantum computing, it’s hard to separate genuine opportunity from science fiction. As someone who’s been tracking this space, I’ve noticed a clear pattern: industries fall into one of three camps – the overly excited (often without understanding the technical details), the dismissive skeptics (“call me when it works”), or the genuinely confused. What I feel is missing is a straightforward way to think about how quantum computing might actually affect specific industries without getting lost in complex physics or marketing buzz....

Quantum and Ethics

In the realm of technology, quantum computing stands as a beacon of future possibilities, and potential horrors. Its development, still in nascent stages, promises to revolutionize our approach to solving complex problems that are currently beyond the reach of classical computers. However, with great power comes great responsibility. The journey towards integrating quantum computing into our societal fabric necessitates a thoughtful approach to governance. This essay explores the initial steps towards establishing governance principles for quantum computing and underscores the importance of continuous evolution of these principles as the technology matures....
