he decade from digital to quantum technology
Digital transformation is generating great changes in the
world at a much faster rate than one imagines. So it is time to wake up, this
decade leading to 2030 will bring a market dominated by technology, global
trade and large transnational companies. And in this environment it will be
necessary to become familiar with the key concepts of the digital age. This
becomes even more critical, if possible, before the imminent arrival of a new
technological wave, capable of transforming existing models with astonishing
speed and power: Quantum Technology.
In October 2019 Google announced that its researchers had
managed to make a calculation that the world's largest supercomputers could not
have carried out in less than 10,000 years. Google's new quantum computer
performed such an operation in 3 minutes 20 seconds. Quantum Computing was born
for the world, which allows inconceivable calculations to be made at an
astonishing speed, and which would be one of the technologies of the following
decade .
Quantum technology applications
For now, it seems that quantum computers will not replace
the world's supercomputers that perform useful tasks and quantum will effort on
the field of research. However, Google's quantum computer managed to positively
simulate a unassuming chemical reaction as early as 2020. The feat pointed a
new path to better understanding molecular reactions and could lead to valuable
discoveries. Some examples: more efficient batteries, new drugs, methods to
produce fertilizers or better techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
So, although quantum computing is just beginning its progress in today's world,
we cannot lose sight of it, because in this decade it hovers to blast in many
of the newfangled products that will be offered on the market.
Quantum technology and state haven
For China and the Joint States, quantum computing is a
routine of national security. Like all "technological
super-advances", quantum computers are a double-edged sword. They may one
day drive breakthroughs in artificial intelligence too overcome the encryption
that protects computers. This will be crucial for national security, tiers, and
even the e-commerce sites we use every day. It is curious that this important
scientific advance did not come from any government or a university, but from
private businesses such as Google, Microsoft or Alibaba, which dominate
internet searches.
Quantum Computing and Fake Intelligence
The perfect complement to dramatic calculating is Artificial
Intelligence (AI), whose effectiveness has considerably increased the returns
of many firms that have decided to implement it in some of their active
methods. The AI formula, which involves of creating better strategies, thanks
to forecast algorithms that analyze large amounts of data collected, has been
imposed in industrial sectors such as finance, health, logistics, automotive,
data mining or entertainment.
The union of quantum computing and non-natural intelligence
promises to be humanity's next revolution. If we add the odd computational
speed of quantum computing to the ability to work with algorithms that simulate
human intelligence, something that Artificial Intelligence already does, the
result will be inconceivable.
The future of quantum computation
Quantum computers promise exponential intensifications in
processing power, allowing calculations, simulations, analysis, etc. that until
now have not been viable. These computers work by putting their qubits in a
temporary state of superposition, where they can represent both 1 and 0 of the
bits of a traditional computer. Of course, there is still a long way to go, but
we will get there. Giving to experts, the first real benefits will be seen in a
period of five to ten years. So in this decade we will enter fully into the era
of quantum technology.
And let's not forget that technology is a mandatory subject
for any company that wants to survive in the decade that we are beginning.
