Michael Brett: How Quantum Computing Opens Up A New Frontier For Software

Recent advances predictive analytics have opened up new opportunities to help us understand the world and create solutions to hard problems, but the cost of the required computational resources can be extremely high. Moore's Law is slowing, which makes traditional hardware approaches harder and harder to scale. Quantum computing may help by opening up a radically different approach to applying complex algorithms in the fields of optimisation, machine learning, physical simulation and so forth.
