The excitement around quantum technology is tempered by some pretty formidable factors. Not only is it expensive, but it can also be difficult to predict when it will start to deliver commercially relevant results.
The BMW Quantum Computing Challenge helped spark some great input to our work in quantum technology. The collaboration with colleagues from across Capgemini sparked radical quantum sensing ideas.
Resisting automation is no longer an option – so the attention of the world’s C-Suite is turning from the question of ROI to three fundamentals… what kind of robotics and automation should I pursue, how can automation make my business more resilient, and how do I make my business ready for automation, autonomy and their successful scaling?
