I told folks this; I see another one from Google has joined the QC less than 10 year club. My guess is more likely less than 7 years.<\/p>\n

A seminal moment in the quantum technology field just happened: Google\u2019s team of scientists have simulated a hydrogen molecule from its quantum computers, a breakthrough that suggests it could \u201csimulate even larger chemical systems,\u201d writes one of Google Quantum\u2019s engineers, Ryan Rabbush<\/a>. The search engine\u2019s achievement underscores the technology\u2019s potential as Rabbush posits it can \u201crevolutionize the design of solar cells, industrial catalysts, batteries, flexible electronics, medicines, materials and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

As advances in such supercomputers continue, investment and research in this field gathers greater momentum as Google, Alibaba, Baidu, Amazon and other tech giants and governments too are racing to develop this technology. Recently, the European Commission allocated \u20ac1 billion to research, incubate and invest in quantum technologies. Meanwhile Google last month made headlines about testing its quantum security to shield its Chrome browser.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a technology that is developing very rapidly,\u201d explains Serguei Beloussov, CEO and founder of data security firm Acronis, adding that industries related to \u201ccreativity and human ingenuity\u201d are more difficult to predict and that is the case with this fast-developing field. \u201cQuantum computing at the moment [particularly] quantum metrology and quantum security are things that are dependent on science so [development] can be very slow or rapid. If this technology actually appears, it will be such a huge change that companies like Amazon, Alibaba, Google want to be in front of that change and that is why they are investing,\u201d says this tech expert who is also executive chairman of tech company, Parallels.<\/p>\n
