At Q2B Silicon Valley, Michael Baczyk from Global Quantum Intelligence presented a talk on on-premises computers. Here is a brief summary.
Quantum computing is reshaping the technology landscape, promising revolutionary advancements in fields ranging from optimization to cryptography. While cloud-based access has been a dominant deployment model, on-premise quantum computing is gaining significant traction. A recent report by Global Quantum Intelligence (GQI) highlights emerging trends, buyer and seller dynamics, and the long-term potential of this growing market, offering a roadmap for stakeholders to navigate this complex ecosystem.
On-premise quantum computing installations are expanding across industries as organizations prioritize control, security, and reliability. While the trend isn’t new, recent technological advances have accelerated its adoption. Deployment models now span a wide range of configurations to suit specific applications, signaling a more mature market.
The decision to invest in on-premise quantum computers often stems from unique organizational needs. Key drivers include:
Buyers range from government agencies to enterprises in industries like healthcare, finance, and energy, with use cases spanning optimization, simulation, and machine learning. As systems improve, the emphasis on scalability and future-proofing grows stronger.
Quantum computing vendors are responding to these demands with tailored strategies to win over buyers:
Notably, partnerships in consulting and co-development are becoming common, as buyers look to leverage the expertise of vendors to maximize the value of their systems.
The report identifies several critical metrics that influence the on-premise QC market:
Despite these challenges, the market is advancing. According to the GQI report, on-premise deployments are projected to contribute significantly to the quantum value chain, offering solutions to bridge the “valley of death” often faced during commercialization.
As the debate continues between cloud-based and on-premise quantum systems, the future likely involves a coexistence of both models. While cloud solutions offer flexibility and rapid scalability, on-premise systems cater to organizations needing enhanced control, sovereignty, and bespoke configurations.
Blind quantum computing and other advances may eventually close the gap between security needs and cloud solutions, but for now, private machines are indispensable for many buyers. The on-premise model also serves as a sandbox for organizations to explore and innovate without the constraints of shared infrastructure.
The on-premise quantum computing market represents a billion-dollar opportunity for organizations willing to invest in cutting-edge technologies. Whether driven by security concerns, the need for scalability, or long-term strategic goals, buyers and sellers are aligning to push the boundaries of what is possible.
The market is primed for growth. For stakeholders, the key is to navigate challenges while capitalizing on the immense potential of quantum technologies to redefine industries.
Quantum computing is no longer a far-off dream—it is here, and on-premise deployments are leading the charge into a transformative era.
