Despite having been in development for decades, quantum computing largely remains the domain of researchers and scientists, with commonplace commercial use cases still a far-off prospect for IT providers that may one day want to ply their trade in the quantum realm.

Once this occurs, the analyst firm suggests, developments will be rapid and organisations with the foundation built to take advantage of quantum computing will quickly reap the rewards of their early investments.
