Quantum Means Business: New Study Finds Organizations Expect Up to 20x ROI from Quantum Optimization Investments
Over 21% plan production-level use of quantum computing over next 12-18 months, a 50% increase over the past two years
Announced at D-Wave’s global Qubits 2024 user conference, these findings are detailed in a new D-Wave-commissioned report conducted by high-performance computing analyst group
Significant ROI Expected From Quantum Optimization
Out of the 300 users polled, 290 reported that they each expected to make a long-term annual commitment of
Accelerating Production-Level Applications for Efficiencies, Revenue, and Innovation
The 2024 survey also reveals a significant uptick in quantum adoption planning, with 21% of survey respondents either currently using or planning to put quantum technology into production within the next 12 to 18 months. This represents a 50% increase in adoption plans over findings in Hyperion Research’s 2022 report, which D-Wave believes indicates growing recognition of quantum computing’s real-world business value.
Respondents view investing in quantum optimization as a promising strategy for enhancing business process efficiencies, which was named as the top benefit of quantum optimization by almost a quarter of respondents (24%), followed by increasing revenues (20%), and driving innovation (14%). These findings also emphasize the importance quantum holds for organizations looking at optimizing finance-oriented areas (17%), supply-chain management (16%) and manufacturing (14%).
Businesses Expect Practical, Performance-Driven Results
According to the survey, respondents identified performance improvements on key workloads as the most significant organizational driver for quantum computing adoption. Not only technical staff, but also senior management teams are now advocating for quantum computing adoption within their organizations, reflecting a growing enterprise-wide appetite for quantum. What’s more, users indicated they are putting their priorities on enhancing existing business processes over the building of new quantum-based applications.
“The results of our 2024 survey present a recurring theme: Businesses are not merely interested in exploring the potential of quantum technologies but are now actively pursuing quantum solutions for their real-world problems,” said
“In my view, the data is clear: quantum computing has arrived as a critical business imperative,” said Dr.
