Quantum Technologies and Capgemini’s Q Lab

Now is the time to understand the practical application of quantum – and how forward-looking businesses should invest in quantum technology.

Quantum technologies are at a tipping point

Quantum is currently a hot topic in the technology and business world. Once perceived to be in the realm of science fiction, the opportunities and impact of quantum technologies will be very real. We expect technological advances to progressively unlock more and more applications over the next 10 years.

At the intersection of numerous scientific disciplines, leveraging the weirdness of quantum mechanics, the result is a set of highly disruptive technologies delivering ground-breaking opportunities in life sciences, financial services, automotive and aerospace engineering, and our broader society.

Although much of the potential is still to be realized, we expect that carefully designed quantum algorithms will allow us to tackle business problems previously unimaginable. And we will be able to achieve superior accuracy in critical measurements and imaging, and greater communication security.

Endless possibilities

We focus on three technology areas: Quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communications. Our approach is to partner with clients to identify priority use cases, showcase applications of quantum technology, and carry out early experimentation and incubation – ultimately, to deliver quantum-enabled technology solutions that address their needs, and ensuring that our quantum solutions can integrate seamlessly into our client’s processes.

We have partnered with IBM providing our clients access to IBM’s quantum machines and their licensed technology. Using these unique resources, we can demonstrate the possibilities of this superior compute power, from prototypes to end-to-end implementation.

What’s possible with quantum technologies?

Quantum computing could change our world by processing complex data with unimaginable speed. Quantum communications will advance cybersecurity to new levels unobtainable with traditional techniques, to secure our data. While quantum sensing has the potential to transform detection and imaging across industries – from autonomous transport to brain imaging – by providing new data about our world.

We believe everyone should be curious about unlocking the exciting possibilities of quantum for society, and for business.
