Quantum computing is already turning heads because of its ability to exponentially accelerate decision-making in the industrial space, reports 10/12 Industry Report in its latest issue. It’s just the latest in an increasingly diverse array of data-driven innovations that are already disrupting the market.

Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information, enabling it to solve complex problems much faster and more efficiently than classical computers with the help of specialized algorithms. IBM, with offices in Baton Rouge, is particularly optimistic about its potential, and some industrial owners have already begun to test the waters. Read more.
