The current field of quantum computers isn’t quite ready for prime time: McKinsey has estimated that 5,000 quantum computers will be operational by 2030 but that the hardware and software necessary for handling the most complex problems won’t be available until 2035 or later.

Yet organizations need to start thinking now about where they might leverage the technology to solve real-world business problems. Some companies already expect to invest more than $15 million annually on quantum computing, according to a November 2022 report.
