Key takeaways
- Quantum computing does not get a special budget line, it has to win against every other enterprise IT investment competing for the same dollars
- Integrating quantum resources into existing HPC data centers is emerging as a practical path for enterprises to start experimenting without building separate infrastructure
- Buyers are torn between full-stack quantum vendors that offer one throat to choke and best-of-breed providers that may have superior individual components
- IT procurement norms, not just technical readiness, are shaping how and when enterprises greenlight quantum pilots
Summary
Heather West, a research manager at IDC, focusing on quantum computing, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Heather and Yuval talk about where quantum computing is prioritized relative to over enterprise IT opportunities, the potential integration of quantum into the HPC data centers, full-stack vs. best-of-breed vendor selection and much more.
