The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with quantum computing experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Quantum computing is a part of computer science that adopts the principles of quantum theory. It is an advanced technology emerging rapidly that follows the laws of quantum mechanics to resolve more complex problems for classical computers. Quantum computer has been used for computing based on quantum physics ideas. It differs from traditional computing in speed, bits, and data. Classical computing employs two bits, 0 and 1, but the system uses all states between 0 and 1, resulting in superior results and faster processing. The system is mainly used to compare several solutions and identify the best one for a complicated problem.

Key industry players, including IBM Corporation, D-Wave Systems Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Intel Corporation are offering these computing services. Key market players are focusing on expanding their business units across developing nations. For instance, in June 2022, Xanadu launched Borealis, which outperforms the most promising classical supercomputers at distinct tasks and is available to users everywhere through Amazon Braket and Xanadu Cloud. It is a programmable photonic quantum computer with a quantum computational edge of 216 squeezed-state qubits.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Industry Share Increased Due to Significant Growth Opportunities for Market Players 

The COVID-19 outbreak significantly impacted the expansion of computing services worldwide. Since the global shutdown, according to McKinsey, the pandemic phase represented that the funding for quantum technology-focused startups doubled from USD 700 million in 2020 to USD 1.4 billion in 2021. In the second half of 2021, the share of investments in quantum computing from private and venture capital entities showcased a significant rise. This rise accounted for over 70% of investments, demonstrating growing confidence across companies that the technology will provide positive outcomes.  

Additionally, various companies operating in the market completed an Initial Public Offering (IPO) through special purpose acquisition companies. These companies allow businesses operating in the market to avoid the IPO process, saving money and time and scaling down regulatory oversight. For instance, IonQ was the first company to become the “first publicly traded, pure-play quantum computing company”. IonQ was followed by companies such as Rigetti, Arqit, and D-Wave. This strategy adopted by several pure-play quantum companies during the pandemic years is expected to nurture a promising future for the market in the coming years.
