The company predicts that useful quantum computers could arrive by the end of the decade.
“Even the most powerful supercomputers available now are not able to solve some of these problems.
Quantum computing could be a game-changer in those areas.”

Batteries are one area that could see radical advances thanks to quantum computing, the report claims.
Making higher density lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries could enable new applications in electric vehicles and energy storage.
He said that most areas of science rely on building computer models to solve difficult problems.
The underlying physics of most systems is captured in standard computing and governed by the rules of quantum mechanics.
