Quantum computing is currently undergoing an experimental phase, but Boston Consulting Group says it will generate $ 2,000 to $ 5 billion a year (€ 1,880 to € 4,520) in revenue and cost savings for industries.

Quantum investment is also on the rise: The United States has recently unveiled a public program with an investment of $ 1.2 billion. Europe has said it will invest $ 1 billion over the next ten years, and China will.

The main benefit of quantum computing is that industries require complex operations simulations that require computing power that cannot be provided by a conventional computer.

For example, a nitrogen fixation process for fertilizers is used, which consumes 2% of the world's energy and is currently being tested and error-free. "We think this can be done more efficiently with quantum computing, but we haven't been able to do that yet," says Boijo (a Google employee) on the phone. An ordinary computer would need more than 10 million times the power.

This technology will be very beneficial in medicine because medicines will be more effective and will be obtained in a faster way because of the lack of testing.

Google's new research has essentially demonstrated three things: first, that quantum computation exists experimentally; on the other, that it can be applied in complex systems (more than thirteen orders of magnitude greater than before), and finally three, unlike the classical one, partly because it resembles the abacus, according to Boix.
