Quantum Computing: The Transition from Hype to Quiet Production

In this dynamic episode of the Qubit Value podcast, we dive deep into the "industrialization of quantum," where the focus has shifted from loud promises to the quiet, robust production of 2026. With the global market projected to skyrocket to over $20 billion by 2030, we explore how the industry has moved beyond theoretical "supremacy" to verifiable advantage—demonstrated by the incredible 99.97% fidelity of the latest processors. The conversation covers the "scaling wars" between modular strategies and 3D-stacked "skyscrapers," the breakthrough use of tantalum to smash coherence barriers, and the emergence of "Quantum Primes" ready to serve high-stakes contracts for governments and banks. From simulating EV batteries to optimizing global portfolios, this is a front-row seat to the moment quantum science finally becomes a powerful engineering reality.
