Abstract

This presentation reviews basics of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, and quantum sensing with an eye on practical applications, if any, of various quantum technologies. It discusses a realistic roadmap, time scales, and challenges facing this space and is intended for a business audience, C-level executives, and investors considering strategic decisions about engaging with nascent quantum technology (or not). P.S. Supporting video content, animation, and copies of the accompanying Nature article are available upon request (through the ScienceCast comment section below).
