Cinfo and R analyzed the nodes in a telecom network most likely to fail suing quantum annealing and quantum computing technologies.
Case Stories
Think that quantum is still decades away? Below are the stories of early adopters who are experimenting across a wide range of domain areas and use cases as they seek to gain quantum advantage. Since BCG predicts early adopters could capture up to 90% of the value, these are examples that show how important it is to develop a quantum strategy and get started.
