Quantum (News - Alert) computing is on track to redefine the limits of computational power. In fact, Fortune Business Insights shows the traction the quantum computing market is gaining by stating that the global quantum computing market size was valued at $885.4 million in 2023 and is projected to grow from $1,160.1 million in 2024 to $12,620.7 million by 2032.

There are some, though, that may not understand fully what quantum computing is.

Unlike classical computers (which use bits as the smallest unit of information), quantum computers leverage qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously due to a phenomenon called superposition. This allows quantum systems to perform complex calculations at faster rates than their classical counterparts.

Additionally, quantum entanglement (a unique property allowing qubits to be interconnected regardless of distance) amplifies their ability to solve intricate problems.

For organizations, quantum computing opens doors to transformative possibilities. In financial services, quantum algorithms can optimize portfolio management and risk analysis, offering unparalleled accuracy and speed. In healthcare, they promise breakthroughs in drug discovery and genomics. Logistics companies can leverage quantum systems to tackle supply chain inefficiencies, while energy firms may accelerate the development of new materials for sustainable energy solutions.

The impact of quantum computing also extends into cybersecurity. As quantum computers evolve, they will have the potential to crack traditional encryption methods. Organizations are now exploring quantum-resistant cryptography to safeguard sensitive data in a post-quantum world.

However, there’s always those bad actors who use the same tools to cause harm. At Enterprise Cybersecurity Expo 2025 (taking place February 11-13 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida), a panel session titled “The Future of Cybersecurity: Quantum Computing and Beyond” will look into this topic.

The session will discuss the implications of quantum computing for cybersecurity and explore potential countermeasures. Attendees will also learn about quantum-resistant algorithms and other emerging technologies that may help organizations prepare for a more secure future.

 The session will take place from 1:00-1:45 PM on Thursday, February 13.
