Quantum Computing: You Need to Parse That Trillion-Dollar IBM Statement Very Carefully

Is that…Annual sales by IBM in the quantum computing market? Adding $1 trillion in annual sales (the first bullet point) by IBM in quantum computing would be nothing short of breath-taking. For example, an IBM client might spend $20 million on quantum computing to produce $10 billion in revenue. There’s every reason to think that quantum computing could be a significant technology in future datacenters. Be hopeful about quantum computing, but don’t necessarily expect IBM to start minting billionaires.
