PALM BEACH, Fla., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - The quantum computing ecosystem is expanding, with an increasing number of startups entering the market. These startups are focusing on various aspects of quantum technology, from hardware and software to applications. Quantum computing is also disrupting and helping manage large drone fleets by optimizing resource allocation, scheduling, and communication, potentially enabling more coordinated and efficient operations. Furthermore, the quantum computing market is witnessing a surge in government and private sector investments. Governments are allocating substantial funds to quantum research and development to maintain a competitive edge in emerging technologies. A report from Grand View Research said that the global quantum computing market size was estimated at USD 1.42 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4.24 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2025 to 2030. The report said: “Quantum computing is still considered an emerging technology with significant potential. Unlike classical computers that use bits, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously due to the principles of quantum mechanics. This makes quantum computers well-suited for specific types of complex calculations. Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize various industries due to its unique and powerful computational capabilities, which arise from the principles of quantum mechanics. One of the most significant potential applications of quantum computing is in the field of cryptography. Quantum computers can efficiently solve certain mathematical problems that are currently the basis of modern encryption techniques.” Active Companies in the markets today include ZenaTech, Inc.
