Key takeaways
- Q2B started as an internal QCWare planning exercise before growing into the industry's main trade show, now run somewhat independently from QCWare's core business
- When a quantum company does professional services work for a client, contracts need to spell out clearly who owns the resulting algorithms and code, since this differs from typical software consulting
- Clients often assume they own everything they pay for, but reusable quantum techniques and frameworks need to stay with the vendor for the business to scale across customers
- Serious investment in benchmarking software performance is still lacking industry wide, making it hard for buyers to compare vendors on real, verifiable claims
