The Quantum Shift: Europe’s Second Chance at a Tech Revolution
The steam engine, the electric motor, the telephone — all inventions that solidified Europe’s place as an architect of modern civilization during the first Industrial revolution.
But somewhere between the third and fourth industrial revolutions, Europe began ceding ground. US cloud providers came to dominate the European market, and when the AI boom arrived, they were front and center, alongside China and India.
That hype is settling, and quantum may be next.
For years, researchers labored to determine whether quantum physics could actually translate into real-world solutions. Today, countries are racing to get in—drawn by what quantum tech promises: unbreakable encryption for military communications, drug discovery, and smarter risk modeling in finance.
Aditya Singh, VP at BosonQ Psi, puts it plainly: “quantum-inspired algorithms are already solving problems that classical computing has been failing at for decades, in manufacturing, aerospace and defence.” For those with health concerns, Alice & Bob co-founder...
