Many of our readers would have heard that quantum computers will revolutionize the computing industry thanks to their ability to harness the computational power of nature. Quantum systems (think atoms or particles) can be leveraged to solve hard game-changing computational problems that were previously thought to be impossible to solve in a meaningful time frame. In our new ‘quantum Revolution’ series we will dive deep into the leading and emerging quantum computing hubs around the globe. Today, we’ll be covering Canada. In our view, a potential quantum superpower is quietly in the making.
To help the non-technical reader get a snapshot of quantum technology, McKinsey & Company recently published a report entitled ‘ The next tech revolution: quantum computing’ that you can download for free. At Zaiku Capital, we’re excited about the potential of quantum algorithms for the finance industry & for the purposes of portfolio optimization. In fact, we are currently trying to ‘quantise’ the Kolmogorov IPO Score originally developed by our team at Kähler Insights! :) Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs seems to also be taking quantum tech seriously by recently stating that they are “ ramping up research in quantum finance “.
