Why Quantum Computing didn't make Gartner 's "Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2024" ??
The world of technology is ever-evolving, with new innovations capturing our imagination regularly. Among these stands Quantum Computing – a domain promising to revolutionise everything from cryptography to medicine. It might come as a surprise to many that this game-changing technology didn't feature in Gartner's 2024 Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends. However, this doesn't diminish the promise and potential of quantum computing.
Just because quantum computing hasn't made Gartner's 2024 list doesn't diminish its significance.
Reasons -
1) Quantum computing promises groundbreaking advancements, but its impact is not expected to be immediately actionable in 2024 or another few years.
2) While quantum hardware is available, our capabilities to harness its full power for mass adoption aren't mature yet.
3) Gartner's list emphasises trends that need short-term attention and action from the business community. The real quantum boom is projected to happen later in the decade.

4) Quantum computing isn't new to Gartner's radar. It was spotlighted as a "Trend to Watch" in Top Strategic Technology Trends.
5) Also, Gartner has stressed the importance of preparing for quantum's impact. Initiatives like promoting privacy-enhancing technologies, including homomorphic encryption, are critical steps in anticipation of the quantum era.
Gartner's 2024 Top Technology Trends provides a snapshot of the immediate future, focusing on what businesses need to act on right now. Quantum computing's absence from the list doesn't question its significance but rather underscores its timeline to mainstream relevance. It remains a beacon of the tech future, illuminating a path filled with promise, potential, and transformative capabilities. As with all technological revolutions, the quantum wave will arrive in its own time and when it does, it promises to be nothing short of revolutionary.
So, it's all about timing, and the quantum revolution is on the horizon.

1 年I agree with the timing, yet companies can start to use and the see tangible result with practical quantum computing applications. We know that general-purpose quantum computers (like IBM's, Google's) are not ready, on the other side other type of quantum computers (like D-Wave's) provide annealing technology specifically designed for solving optimization problems. Therefore who wants to be ready for future competition should immediately begin to create road-map to have the competitive advantage in future.

1 年Seems like Gartner missed the forest for the trees Utpal Chakraborty The current zeitgeist say that Quantum Computing for Banking is to be explored now since the solutions to some of the financial problems like Derivatives Pricing and Portfolio Optimisation are only probabilistic, not deterministic just as the results of some QC algorithms. The article at https://www.financierworldwide.com/closer-than-you-think-quantum-computing-in-finance (dated May 2021) says that “financial services companies running experiments with, quantum computing providers. providers showcase their success at constructing optimal financial asset portfolios with historical stock-market data. It would therefore not be surprising if there were already asset managers exploiting insights from quantum algorithms to optimise their portfolios. They have every incentive to keep quiet for as long as possible about the competitive advantage they gain from quantum computing. With cloud access, there is no technological barrier to entry in quantum computing. However, first movers are gaining an advantage in building expertise on how to model financial problems for quantum solutions, ..by hiring already-scarce quantum talent.” Cheers ?? to the first movers !
