Zapata Releases Its Second Annual Report on Enterprise Quantum Computing Adoption

We reported last month about four different quantum market surveys that pointed the way for continued quantum growth in 2023 and beyond. And now Zapata Computing has released a survey that shows similar results. This is their second annual Enterprise Quantum Computing Adoption which entailed surveying 300 corporate executives (VP-level and above) at large global enterprises with revenues of at least $250 million across a range of industries. The 2022 survey showed continued improvement in quantum interest over the results they obtained in 2021.

Among the respondents, 4% classified themselves as advanced quantum adopters, 29% classified themselves as early quantum adopters, 42% are planning to adopt quantum in the future, and a final 26% have no current plans to adopt quantum. Among the ones current working on quantum, 71% of the organizations advised they have current quantum computing budgets exceeding $1 million, a significant increase over last year. Also, a very surprising 30% of the respondents felt they would be able to see a competitive advantage through the use of quantum computing within the next 12 months with an additional 6% claiming they have already achieved a competitive advantage through the use of quantum computing. Another surprising finding is that nearly half of the respondents mentioned they are deploying quantum computing more quickly than they did with AI. The survey also unveiled concerns about vendor lock-ins, complexity of integrating quantum with the rest of the enterprises IT infrastructure, and implementation of post-quantum cryptography to combat cybersecurity threats.

Additional information about the survey can be seen in a press release posted on the Zapata website which can be accessed here and the full survey report which can be downloaded from a web page here.
