Part 6/13:

While Google leads, global research institutions have reported similar breakthroughs, confirming that quantum correlations can power engines beyond Carnot limits. Multiple teams are designing quantum computers specifically for chemistry, biology, and materials research, collapsing timelines that once stretched over decades. The era when quantum advantage was merely a future promise has been replaced by current, active application.

Implications for Industry and Society

The impact of quantum computing’s rapid evolution is profound:

• Pharmaceuticals: Developing new drugs, which previously took 10-15 years at immense costs, could now be accelerated to mere years or months, thanks to simulated interactions at the atomic level.
