The quantum future will change lives
Quantum computing and sensing improvement drives growth in all industries and labor markets. The quantum future will provide predictive models for finance, reduce time in discovering new drugs, improve processes for manufacturing methods and logistic supply chains, enable data encryption and drive cybersecurity for all. These advancements will change nearly every facet of our lives, but we won’t have to wait long: quantum is here.
Everyone already experiences the benefits of classical computing daily in our cell phones, cars, and internet security and search. While computer chips have been getting smaller and processors more powerful, today’s computers (and even supercomputers) have hit their relative ceiling.
Quantum will expand opportunities for creative thought, driving the biggest innovations and solving complex problems in less time—all of which create economic value through increased efficiency, security, and productivity.
But it’s not all computing power. Sensing and communications round out the expanse of future developments. Quantum sensing provides measurements with a sensitivity that is orders of magnitude greater than classical sensing, meeting global research and market demands for greater precision. Quantum technologies will create ultra-secure methods for transmitting sensitive data, reducing threats of cyberattack for governments, militaries, and businesses.
Most importantly, quantum will impact economic prosperity and security for all South Carolinians.
