USA Today published an article today called “Could quantum computing help beat the next coronavirus?” where they interviewed several of us in the IBM Quantum program. While the title is far-reaching, it refers to basic research today in how quantum computing might be used for calculations in the physical sciences and chemistry, in particular. It also mentions nascent financial services work via this quote from me:
For a consumer with a retirement fund, “quantum computers over the next 10 to 15 years … may help you make better personal financial decisions through the calculations that your broker is doing,” says Bob Sutor, an IBM Research vice president tasked with driving the quantum computing ecosystem.
