SYDNEY — After years of being a laboratory promise, quantum computing is entering its “Concretization” phase. Researchers have successfully stabilized a silicon-based quantum platform, dubbed 14|15, which significantly reduces the “noise” that typically crashes quantum calculations.
The big news for 2026 isn’t just about pure quantum power, but Hybrid Computing. Major tech players are now integrating classical GPUs with quantum processors to solve specific, high-dimensional problems in finance and logistics that were previously impossible.
The 4 Cs of Quantum: Industry experts highlight that the “4 Cs”—Computing, Concretization, Correction, and Cybersecurity—will define the market this year. Perhaps most importantly, 2026 has been set as the “Q-Day Deadline” for banks. With over $7 billion being spent on post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the race is on to secure global wealth against the threat of future quantum decryption.
