Quantum tech is gaining momentum, and the rise of the nascent space — which includes quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing — could have far-reaching effects across several major industries.
Healthcare, for example, is a primary focus for quantum tech companies developing extremely powerful computers, ultra-secure communications, and highly precise sensors. These applications could speed up the drug discovery process, improve accuracy in diagnostics, and enhance data security.
As quantum tech gradually moves towards commercialization, its potential to transform healthcare is gaining media attention.
Industry players are also starting to take notice. Almost a third of life science companies said that they plan to evaluate quantum computers this year, according to a survey by SRI International.
