Quantum computing is an incredibly complex industry, how can someone possibly attempt to understand where the current state is and where it’s heading? Using data! That’s exactly what Bob Sorensen does as Chief Analyst for Quantum Computing at Hyperion Research. In his analysis he views quantum computing through the lens of high performance computing, drawing parallels and illuminating differences.
