Quantum Computing

Big Trend

Quantum computing is rapidly emerging as a game-changing technology with immense potential to revolutionize various industries. This cutting-edge field harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform complex calculations that are beyond the capabilities of classical computers. With investments pouring in from governments and businesses alike, the race to build a commercially viable quantum computer is intensifying. While still in its early stages, quantum computing has already shown promise in areas such as drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, and artificial intelligence. Experts predict that within the next decade, quantum computers could tackle problems previously thought unsolvable, leading to breakthroughs in fields like medicine, energy, and climate science. However, significant challenges remain in terms of scalability, error correction, and the development of quantum algorithms. Nevertheless, the quantum computing revolution is well underway, and its impact on society is expected to be profound.

Google Trend

Google Trends can provide valuable insights into the growing interest and trends surrounding quantum computing by analyzing search term patterns. Start by searching for "quantum computing" in Google Trends to see a graph of search interest over time, which can reveal growing or declining trends.

If you are interested further details of the trend, you can check various sub trends like explore the "Interest by region" section to identify areas with high interest and potential markets. The "Related queries" and "Related topics" sections reveal emerging trends, new developments, or specific areas gaining traction. Additionally, correlate spikes in search interest with major announcements, breakthroughs, or conferences related to quantum computing to understand the factors driving increased attention.

Comparing the search interest of quantum computing with other emerging technologies like artificial intelligence or blockchain helps gauge its relative popularity and potential impact. Analyzing long-term trends can differentiate between temporary hype and sustained interest. Combining Google Trends data with other sources like scientific publications or industry reports provides a more comprehensive understanding of the quantum computing landscape.

NOTE : I haven't followed up the trend after 2019, but you can check out the latest trends in the same way.

Gartner's Hypecycle

Quantum Computing first came into the hypecurve in 2011 and was in very slow uphill towards 2018, but disappear from the curve in 2019. (As of now) I am pretty sure that it is not because Quantum Computing became mature technology passing Plateau. Then does it mean that it is in chasm without passing the peak and completely gone out of the industry ? or It is still working actively in the background and will do some 'quantum jump' sometime in near future. If we see it again as hot topics in the industry soon, Quantum Tunneling applies even to hypecycle -:).

Whatever the truth is, pure intellectual curiosity is not affected by this kind of cycle. Just have fun in the process of learning itself.
