Your selections reveal where your current thinking places you across four contrasting future world scenarios. Click on each world to explore the implications for your business.
In practice, other people in your organisation may answer these questions in different ways at different times. To develop a robust strategic view of the impact of quantum on your business, we recommend bringing your people together to explore the questions and underlying drivers in the context of your organisation.
In reality, the future will remain uncertain, however by considering the extremes represented by these four worlds, you can identify commonalities which you can prepare for now, as well as identify key drivers for your business which you can monitor, with full understanding of their likely consequences.

The world of quantum technologies in your everyday life
This is a consumer-centric world where quantum technology is a service. Quantum devices, such as GPS and quantum computer chips, are integrated into mobile devices and cars. Quantum cloud computers are accessible to everyone, making computation quick and easy. Quantum technologies have completely replaced existing technologies. Markets are diverse and varied, with high investment from private companies. Quantum computers elevate the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and machine learning to new heights. The new technologies enable and stabilise communities. This world can’t imagine life before quantum.

World of government collaboration and coexistence
Quantum technologies are integrated into society for public good. Healthcare is more advanced than ever, with quantum enhanced imagers for diagnostics. Government funded projects use highly accurate quantum sensors to build houses in previously uninhabitable areas, helping to solve the housing shortage. There’s a sense of security online, as quantum safe encryption is available to everyone. University hubs across the globe are a diverse and exciting mix of quantum specialists pioneering the second quantum revolution. Quantum is here to stabilise, but not revolutionise.

World of fierce competition to obtain security
Quantum technologies are used for political power and advantage. The military is thriving, with the use of quantum sensors and imaging allowing soldiers to see around corners and in the dark. Quantum clocks and quantum navigation devices make military operations significantly smoother. There’s a sense of fear among the public for their online data and privacy. University research is highly focused on quantum secure communications and sensor technology. Legislation and protocol is fragmented and country specific. Many industries have undergone a digital transformation to cope with the incoming security threat of quantum computers.

World of exclusivity for big business
This is a world for big business. Quantum technology is highly developed but only accessible to those who can pay the price. This is an ownership world where companies purchase devices such as imagers and sensors at a high cost to give them an advantage over their competitors. Large businesses have optimised everything from their supply chain to their data analytics using quantum computers. One main quantum computer provider reigns supreme.
