Quantum computing is approaching at an accelerated pace. At least that is what is shown by the trend in the financing of start-ups focused on this technology. start-ups focused on this technologywhich between 2020 and 2021 doubledto US$1.4 billion, according to the consulting firm McKinsey. McKinsey. This technology has the potential to capture around US$700 billion in value by 2035, according to McKinsey.according to McKinsey.

Quantum computing uses the laws of quantum mechanics -which govern the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles -which governs the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles-to process data in infinitely greater volume and at infinitely greater speed than traditional computing, tackling complex problems with many interacting variables in complicated ways. Its development is at an early stagebut companies such as IBM already have quantum computers in operation that are being used by companies such as Mercedes Benz y ExxonMobil for advanced research.

Its processing capabilities will make it possible, for example, to understand in detail how molecules within a lithium-ion battery interact, understand in detail how molecules interact within a lithium-ion battery and thus design more efficient devices or model in detail all the options for the design and and thus design more efficient devices or model in detail all the options for the design and operation of a complex logistics chain.

What does quantum computing promise to revolutionize? According to McKinsey, the pharmaceuticalhe pharmaceutical and and healthcare health carethe automotive automotive and transportation and the financial financial sector will be among the most impacted, as well as the fight for decarbonization. the fight for decarbonization.
