Quantum Computing: Poised to Transform Technology in Coming Decades

Quantum computing encodes and manipulates data using subatomic properties like superposition and quantum entanglement. Long confined to theory over past decades, recent research has yielded meaningful progress, with a practical quantum computer likely to emerge within 5–15 years.

Its arrival promises huge leaps in fields like climate simulation, drug research, and materials science. Most anticipated is quantum cryptography: quantum computers could crack all existing encryption, while quantum encryption itself would be truly unbreakable.

 

Though key technical barriers are being overcome, fully practical quantum computers may not arrive until the 2040s. Yet massive investments from governments and industries signal that quantum computing has passed a critical turning point, set to reshape technology’s future.
