Entering the era of
Quantum Computing
We are Quantum Computing evangelists helping companies to understand the disruptive power of Quantum Computing and potential applications in AI, materials science, chemistry, finance and cryptography.
Quantum computers are coming, that much everybody can agree on. But nobody seems to really know what they are going to do and when we might expect them.
We want to create a community of people interested and passionate about this emerging technology.
Quantum computers are fundamentally different from classic computers, which operate using binary bits. This means the bits are either 0 or 1. However, in Quantum Computing, the bit is referred to as a quantum bit or 'qubit'. Qubits can represent 0 or 1 or, unlike the strictly binary bits of classic computing, a combination of both partly 0 and partly 1 at the same time.
This phenomenon, called superposition, gives quantum computers their amazing speed and parallelism. Quantum computers can calculate on all possible inputs at the same time meaning that these computers could theoretically work on millions of computations at once, where a classical computer would have to perform these calculations sequentially.
Quantum Computing is currently rising on the Gartner Hype Cycle and could become one of the most impactful disruptions of the modern era. Most people’s eyes glaze over when you try to explain the concept. And, yet, those in the know also fear the power of that same concept. How can something so misunderstood be poised to affect so many different things across the spectrum of science and computing?
It is already known that Quantum Computing is going to completely disrupt fields like pharmacy, chemistry, finance and cryptography. Even though classical supercomputers are still superior to their quantum counterparts today, companies are already building the groundwork for when the first practical quantum computer becomes available.
This means that the coming quantum revolution could arrive much more suddenly than previous digital revolutions like cloud and mobile computing. Therefore, being “Quantum Ready” will be the deciding competitive advantage for the coming decade.
For CIOs, it’s critical to understand the reality of the Quantum Computing disruption and how it might become a practical platform for computing, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the digital age.
Improved machine learning through faster structured prediction. Examples include Boltzmann machines, quantum Boltzmann machines, semi-supervised learning, unsupervised learning and deep learning.
Quantum computers will allow us to simulate complex interactions between large molecules. This would have far-reaching implications for materials science, the energy sector and the chemistry industry.
Quantum Computing could enable faster, more complex Monte Carlo simulations, for example, trading, trajectory optimization, market instability, price optimization and hedging strategies.
DNA gene sequencing, such as radiotherapy treatment optimization/brain tumor detection, could be performed in seconds instead of hours or weeks.
Faster multidimensional search functions, for example, query optimization, mathematics and simulations.
Eventually, the use of Quantum Computers in the mobility segment could reduce costs and improve numerous processes such as route planning, scheduling, mission planning, traffic flow optimisation...

Every last Thursday of each month, two inspiring sessions will be given with a focus on innovative technologies, entrepreneurship or a specific domain. They will be given by the different Cronos Groep companies and are open for you - customers, partners, students or anyone who might be interested...
Talk: "A gentle introduction to quantum computing"
Be fast to register your free ticket, as the number of participants is limited.
At the moment, nobody seems to really know what quantum computers are going to do and when we might expect them. Many have already read how quantum computing is going to break the (encryption of) the Internet, but it turns out that quantum computers have many other applications that might change the world. In this gentle introduction to Quantum Computing we will give an overview of these applications. Furthermore, we will try to build up an intuitive understanding of Quantum Computing from the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Challenge accepted!
We are QNTM, part of the Raccoons group. Our goal is to inspire and educate companies around Quantum Computing.
Sure! We created an open Slack community where everybody can learn, share and discuss the great potential of this emerging techology.
That's what we do best. Our top-notch speakers give different types of presentations and worskhops at all sorts of events.
