Quantum is still early, that may be the point… Over $30 billion has already been committed to quantum technologies globally, and while the field remains at an early stage, it has clearly moved beyond pure theory into a phase of serious commercial experimentation that is starting to attract sustained enterprise attention. Large organisations are not waiting for full maturity before engaging. They are already running pilots and forming partnerships to understand where quantum could create an edge. Firms such as Goldman Sachs are exploring how quantum approaches might enhance portfolio optimisation and risk modelling, while BMW and Volkswagen are testing its potential in battery chemistry and advanced materials. In life sciences, Amgen is investigating whether quantum machine learning techniques can accelerate parts of the drug discovery process, particularly where classical methods begin to hit limits. The potential economic impact, if technical milestones are reached, is significant. McKinsey & Company estimates that quantum computing could unlock between $400 billion and $600 billion in value for the financial sector alone by 2035, driven largely by improvements in optimisation, risk analysis and capital efficiency, although those outcomes depend on continued progress toward more scalable and fault tolerant systems. There are also early commercial signals beginning to emerge, even if they remain modest relative to more mature technologies. Companies like IonQ are generating real revenue today, which, while still limited in absolute terms, indicates that customers are already willing to pay for access, experimentation and early advantage. The comparison with AI is not exact, but it is still useful. For years, meaningful progress was easy to dismiss as incremental or overhyped, right up until the point where capability and adoption converged and a small group of early movers found themselves in a disproportionately strong position.
