Quantum computing has the potential to transform every domain, every business and every aspect of our lives, and the Quantum-AI combination is going to be a bonanza for business. Let’s understand how. Google’s quantum computer ‘Sycamore’ was been able to solve a complex mathematical calculation in just 3 minutes that a powerful supercomputer would have taken approximately 10,000 years. We call it ‘Quantum Supremacy’ in the world of ‘Qubits’ when a quantum computer outperforms a classic supercomputer. Now we can easily imagine, that with this enormous computational speed combined with the power of AI how it’s going to bring about a radical change in the way we perceive classic computing today. A quantum computer is expected to be at least hundred million times faster than a classic computer. But it will be completely wrong if we think quantum computing will just bring extra speed because it will also bring some other significant dimensions specifically while combined with Machine Learning. Scientists and experts have already forecasted that Qubit in Quantum and Artificial Neurons in AI are going to essentially rule the scientific and technological arena of the future. We need to also understand that quantum computing is not just a boon but essentially the need of today and tomorrow because the silicon revolution is slowly collapsing as it has almost reached its limit. The rise of quantum along with AI is going to manifest the whole spectrum of new possibilities in the field of science and technology. Quantum computers can solve the wide range complex optimisation problems in each domain which conventional computing struggles to perform on time. These optimisation challenges are intrinsic in the field of finance, aviation,  manufacturing, logistics, drug research and medicine, etc.
