Adapting data centres to facilitate the new hybrid internet Not only should data centre providers consider the security issues that come with quantum computing when they look to install the infrastructure to host it , but they should also “ begin auditing the quantum computing landscape and identifying potential technological partners and geographies where investment makes the most sense ,” Chapman explained .
Continuing , he said : “ Finance and quantum machine learning are emerging as two of the earliest places where quantum computing will have a revolutionary impact . Beyond that sector , pharmaceuticals , biological research and materials science are key areas to target .”
Quantum computing won ’ t replace typical computing , instead , it will run in conjunction with the classical internet to form a new hybrid internet . Although this will pose some key challenges , Chapman urges providers to recognise this technology to stay commercially relevant : “ Data centres without a quantum strategy are likely to be behind the curve when quantum begins to propagate throughout the market and becomes table stakes .”
