Quantum Computing
IBM has begun to build quantum computers for research and business purposes. In a few years, quantum computing will become disruptive and will provide exponential computing power. Google, Xanadu, D-Wave, Rigetti, and others devote research budgets to quantum computing.
This unique computer capacity in the history of humanity opens the doors to obtaining results that would be impossible to obtain with classical computers. In 1994, Peter Shor showed that a quantum algorithm could perform better than a classical one for prime factors of an integer and the discrete logarithm problem. Then in 1995, Lov Grover added the unstructured search problem. With the rise of quantum computers, research can go much further.
