The global quantum computing market is expected to grow significantly due to its ability to offer enhanced optimisation and carry out vital calculations, with India in a unique position to benefit from this technology to solve challenges such as income inequality, road safety, air pollution, and groundwater depletion. As a major player in the IT services industry, India can use quantum computing and other technologies to address these social, economic, and technological challenges.Quantum Opportunities AheadQuantum computing is expected to achieve a 'quantum advantage' in the near future, where it will be able to solve real-world problems more efficiently than the most powerful supercomputers. According to industry estimates, this advancement represents a significant market opportunity of $300 billion to $800 billion by 2040. However, market growth may be hampered due to a lack of awareness about quantum computing and a shortage of skilled employees. To address this issue, it is necessary to develop a local workforce with the necessary skills to meet industry demand.This decade is known as the 'Quantum decade', and it is marked by significant changes in computing. It is an excellent time to collaborate and research use cases in areas such as language understanding and crop rotation. The Indian government has identified this opportunity as a 'mission of national importance', and initiatives from both the government and organisations will create various opportunities for market growth.
