With quantum computers here, developers seek uses
After decades of research, the first quantum computers are now up and running. The question is: What do we do with them?
IBM and D-Wave are trying to cash in on their expensive quantum computers by commercializing services. Both agree that quantum computers are different than PCs and can't be used to run every application.
Instead, quantum systems will do things not possible on today's computers, such as discovering new drugs and building molecular structures. Today's computers are good at finding answers by analyzing information within data sets, but quantum computers can get a wider range of answers by calculating and assuming new data sets.
