Transforming the Path to Quantum Advantage: Unlocking New Possibilities for Critical Industries

Quantum computing holds immense promise but the limited scale and error susceptibility of quantum hardware has long delayed its practical benefits. In this talk we show how quantum control delivered by software is helping accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies by dramatically improving hardware performance and algorithmic outcomes. While this is not yet superior to classical algorithms, Q-CTRL is working with partners across critical industries to turn quantum computing into a useful tool for solving real problems. From logistics and finance to automotive and pharmaceuticals, we highlight early use cases that show measurable impact at world-record scales. We explore how these breakthroughs are happening today, what challenges remain, and what is needed to bring quantum advantage into reach for industry.
