they include optimizations or portfolio risk ana ly ses as well as the acceleration of production process flows which not only saves costs but also improves the quality of the products and thus en hances customer value A practical case in point the complex computations for autonomous driving will only be possible with the help of quantum com puters according to Volkswagen s assessment Schaeffler is keeping track of the subject of quan tum computers with great interest as well Schaeff ler and IBM experts most recently engaged in an exchange on the subject at the end of October Many of the aforementioned use cases for the mega computer are highly attractive for the auto motive and industrial supplier Therefore Schaeff ler s answer to the question What s in it for us is quite a bit at least expectations If you think you understand quantum mechanics you don t understand quantum mechanics Nobel prize winner Richard Feynman American physicist 1918 1988 A new age of information technology Google CEO Sundar Pichai presents the quantum computer named Sycamore The author After the news broke of Google s quantum computer breakthrough science and technology writer Denis Dilba was nervous for a moment Following his research for this article he s now at ease knowing that the cryptographic protocols of his Bitcoins will be safe from being unlocked for a while ability to systematically manipulate these cryo genic atoms while protecting them against exter nal influences calls for even more engineering tricks A lot of time will pass before a real univer sal quantum computer with about one million qu bits that more than likely would also be able to unlock all current conventionally used encryption technologies exists We re anticipating a period of 20 to 30 years Wittmann explains Even so he says it pays for companies to pursue the subject of quantum computers even at this juncture For one because the first smaller com putations with which quantum computers achieve a real advantage over conventional computers can be expected to be available in the next three years And for the other because one should know how to use a quantum computer once it s arrived Autonomous driving as a use case That s why many companies are already evaluating what computing problems would be suitable for a quantum computer In addition to calculations of chemical compounds in medicine and industry 79 Outlook
