Description

Strategic Intelligence: Deep Dive into Quantum Algorithms

Summary

All industries will face both risks and opportunities once quantum computing has matured. A major risk quantum computers will pose in the future is the ability to run Shor’s algorithm, which effectively decrypts today’s standard encryption protocols, allowing online data to be hacked. However, quantum computers can also run highly complex models and simulations that would be inefficient to run on classical computers, making quantum computing essential for complex strategic planning, new discoveries, and competitive advantage.

Key Highlights
  • The fact that Shor’s algorithm cannot be run today does not mean that today’s encrypted data is safe, as Shor’s algorithm can be applied to historic data. Furthermore, cyberattackers are already stealing encrypted databases in anticipation of quantum computing maturing to be able to decipher them-a process known as “harvest now, decrypt later”.
  • Despite progress in recent years, today’s quantum computers cannot run quantum algorithms at a meaningful scale. Thus far, only small-scale proofs of concept have been demonstrated. It is expected that, from 2030, quantum computing will reach commercial scale and that algorithms will be run on large-scale real-world use cases. The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm, applicable to chemistry and materials simulations, is one of the few algorithms already in use.
Scope
  • This report looks at six quantum algorithms: Shor's algorithm, Grover's algorithm, the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm, the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd algorithm, variational quantum eigensolvers, and the quantum approximate optimization algorithm.
  • It includes overviews of each, along with practical use cases.
  • The report also identifies barriers to scalability and benchmarks the six algorithms against each other.
Reasons to Buy
  • Quantum computing will be able to solve problems that today’s classical computers cannot. However, the learning curve for understanding the potential of quantum computing is steep, and businesses need to begin preparing now to secure a competitive advantage. This report is the ideal introduction to quantum algorithms and provides guidance on how businesses can protect their data and ensure trust with their customers and partners.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
