Summary

• The foundational quantum computing algorithms have already demonstrated the potential benefits of this new computational paradigm, provided that a specific set of hardware capable of harnessing the advantages of the physical approach is available.
• There is an interesting variety of options regarding quantum and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms for solving problems related to machine learning, optimization, and simulation. Most have documentation and open source code available to reduce the learning curve for new adopters.
• Quantum computers are a reality since anyone who needs to can access them and start the process of research and discovery toward a potential solution. Also, if there is commercial interest, multiple cloud services provide access to several quantum technologies that can be explored in parallel with high computational power to run quantum simulators.
