Quantum computing is emerging as one of the main trends for this year. According to the ‘2025 Digital Trends’ report by Softtek, the ability to manipulate electrons, photons and atoms through principles such as overlap and intertwining could exponentially accelerate technological development, marking a paradigm shift at multiple levels.
Companies are creating collaboration and experimentation ecosystems to explore specific applications of quantum technologies. These efforts seek to establish solid strategies that generate opportunities, improve strategic planning and promote innovation, efficiency and profitability. The key to making the most of the quantum potential lies in forming interdisciplinary teams that include experts in quantum physics, programming and businesses.
“Quantum storage and Internet quantum are transforming how we manage and share information, ensuring both efficiency and safety. In addition, the combination of quantum computing with artificial intelligence multiplies the possibilities: from the design of innovative materials and personalized medical treatments to improvements in climatic forecasts and risk analysis, ”says Doris Seederf, Softtek CEO for Spain.
Quantum computing market growth
Quantum technologies are being used in three main areas: the precise simulation of materials, the impulse of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, and quantum encryption. These innovations will not only improve cybersecurity, but will also optimize the allocation of resources and transform strategic decision making with greater precision and speed.
The quantum computing market is expected to grow 25.4% per year, reaching 460.7 billion dollars in 2032, promoted by public and private investments in research and development, according to Market.us Scoop. Softtek highlights the disruptive impact that these applications will have in various areas:
- A new cybersecurity panorama. Quantum technology promises to transform digital protection standards with revolutionary encryption methods, such as quantum cryptography. This innovation allows to create and distribute practically invulnerable keys to interception or deciphering, hindering the work of cybercriminals. In addition, quantum cybersecurity will open the door to advances in fraud detection, especially in key sectors such as payment processing. Large technology must adapt their cloud infrastructure to strengthen their systems against possible gaps, identifying applications, channels and critical systems that require immediate responses and resilience to new threats
The quantum era is closer: Softtek presents the technological trend that will mark 2025
- Quantum cloud. The arrival of quantum computing to the cloud will be a milestone that will make it accessible on a large scale. Companies, researchers and developers around the world can access their immense potential without the need for specialized hardware. The integration of quantum processing units (QPU) in cloud environments will offer quantum abilities through the Internet, combining the power of quantum mechanics with the scalability of the cloud. This technological democratization will open the door to disruptive advances in multiple sectors, from cybersecurity to the optimization of medical treatments, intelligent infrastructure management and advanced analysis of industrial processes
- Revolutionary data management. The quantum cloud will mark a before and after in information management, offering more safe and stable storage options, and optimizing the use of available space. Quantum computers may run faster calculations, allowing analyzing data more agile and precisely. This will be decisive to promote areas such as predictive analytics and deep learning based on AI
- Quantum Internet. The quantum Internet promises to transmit information with an unprecedented level of safety and efficiency. In the heart of this technology is the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), an advanced protocol that allows to exchange keys encrypted virtually invulnerable to cyber attacks. As this infrastructure evolves, the QKD will become a fundamental pillar, increasing data trafficking and opening the door to revolutionary applications
- Quantum computing and ia fusion. The combination of quantum computing and artificial intelligence is promoting a new era of innovation in key sectors such as material design, personalized medicine, climatic prediction and risk analysis. Thanks to the quantum Machine Learning (QML) and the unique properties of the qubits, the models of AI will be able to train at greater speeds, solving complex problems in less time and revolutionizing science, technology and strategic decision making in all areas
