Last year, the market for quantum computing, which aims to leverage quantum physics to solve complex tasks at a much faster rate than traditional computers, was worth around $300 million. Supporters of the technology have highlighted its potential to revolutionize the finance industry.However, quantum technology’s practical applications in other sectors have largely yet to be firmly established.A quantum computing pilot, run in conjunction with tech giant IBM, showed a 34% improvement in predicting the likelihood of a bond trade being filled at a quoted price, representing a competitive advantage to traditional computers. Is quantum computing too dangerous for cybersecurity ?
