Quantum computing is poised to transform how we process information, making today’s most powerful computers look slow by comparison. Unlike classical computers that rely on binary bits—either 0 or 1—quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states at once.
In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, Dipen Mehta, EVP & GM for APAC at Softserve, breaks down why quantum computing is a game-changer.
Some of the topics that Dipen covered in detail include:
- Quantum computing introduces qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously—a phenomenon called superposition. This single feature allows quantum machines to process vastly more information at once, enabling computation on a previously unimaginable scale.
- We are still in the early innings of quantum’s commercial, but while we are early, it is inevitable.
- Quantum won’t replace classical computing—it will complement it. Each paradigm has its strengths, and early applications will likely leverage hybrid approaches.
- Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are on a collision course.
- Combining AI with quantum opens the door to what Mehta calls "real-time, hyper-personalized financial services."
