Most people are so overwhelmed with the dazzle of Artificial Intelligence that they dismiss the power of quantum computing.

Reality is the optimized solution for solving some federal problems involving artificial intelligence; other issues need to consider quantum.

Today, Murray Thom puts the ability of quantum computing in a better perspective. For example, when it comes to aerospace maintenance, there are so many variables that classical computing is challenged to provide an answer. We all know that a traditional computer would use bits (0s and 1s). Quantum allows an approach that is not as linear and can provide faster answers to many questions.

The crus of the interview was not a debate on the origins of quantum and Einstein’s remark about God not throwing dice. The debate is over—quantum work. Quantum computing can help the federal government find solutions to public sector challenges like optimizing public services, transportation networks, and defense.

The core of this interview is whether your federal agency is looking for a problem that is too expensive or too time-consuming to solve using classical computing. It is possible to use quantum innovation to solve the problem more economically.

Look at some success stories from D-Wave; they may provide an economic option for you.
