Quantum Computing in Industry: Balancing Potential, Progress and Pragmatism
summary
Program describes a pragmatic roadmap: a 2019 research group leading to 2021 prototypes for post-quantum cryptography and QKD, and a quantum lab (2023) combining hardware entry points with crypto‑agile software. A production example uses quantum-inspired optimization (QUBO models) to place cell towers and tune antennas, outperforming the existing classical planning baseline and now running in a European cloud–edge continuum project. Claims include combining PQC and QKD, using classical bridging to deliver value before scalable fault‑tolerant QC.
