Over the past decade, artificial intelligence has dominated tech headlines, yet the field that could eclipse even AI’s disruptive power is quietly moving from lab benches to factory floors. Quantum computing, machines built on the counterintuitive laws of sub-atomic physics, promises raw processing muscle so immense it can crack today’s “unhackable” encryption in seconds.
The same hardware, however, may also fast-track new drugs, slash industrial emissions, and reshape global finance. To understand how one technology can threaten bank accounts and cure cancer in the same breath, it helps to start with the fundamental shift from bits to qubits.
